I walked within a cloud today. The season with its heavy air touched the earth like a blanket… soft on the edges.
I could not see the path before me… but I knew where I was going. My mind felt the details of the street. I placed my feet slowly in front… cautious of my way.
The air was thick. I pulled it into my lungs in a labored breath. The warmth of the air and the coolness on my skin confused my senses.
It would be easy to stop… to sit and to wait.
The sun was low and the air was low, but the air that muffled the sounds of my world would soon give into the strength of the breeze.
Time was slow there.
Time was slow there.
I love the clouds… they contrast… as they do…
