Eye Level With The Clouds

When you are eye level with the clouds
    You can see the clouds from their own perspective.
    They are a culture and you can study how they live.

    They are completely free but all one.
    They are not afraid of spreading themselves too thin
    Or splitting into fractions or factions
    Or getting lost in the mist.
    There’s no fear of losing themselves in relationships
    And ceasing to exist.

    There can be no individuality or autonomy
        When you aren’t sure what’s your own body.
    There can be no marriages or alliances
        When what you thought what was you is separating
        Or you find that everyone is coalescing
        Or sometimes you completely cover the sky.

When you are eye level with the clouds,
    Whether you are floating on an emotional trance,
    Or standing on the majesty of nature or of man,
    Or by some marvelous circumstance
    You have evaporated into the air
    And are enjoying the earth to sky dance:

    Don’t just look down on things,
    Be sure to enjoy the view.
    Say to yourself, “I level with the clouds”
    And be sure to enjoy the You.
