Daydreams

I drink the autumn skies

milky and dark

as it rains

and it rains

and I drink it in

A warm

and somber

kind of comfort

fills my copious

and expectant

heart

I read

the picture book

clouds

as they drift

in and out

like actors

on the center stage

above my mind

drifting

for a time

in these

daydreams

of mine
