I look up and the blue expanse opens its arms

wide and clear, expressive and emotional

Clouds dance, looping and curling about

I wish I could reach out and grab one

Sit back and drift with them, in wanderlust

peeling back the curiosity of the universe

One layer at a time, piece by piece

flakes of the most beautiful shades of colors

Hues of blue, green, purple, black, grey, white

I close my eyes and feel the grass in my hair

the wind whispering murmurs of adventure
