On The Spiritual Practice of Clouds – a poem by Gerry Grubbs

On The Spiritual Practice Of Clouds

They can congregate or be
A lone mendicant wandering the blue
They never seem to know when
They are given birth to
Nor when they will give birth
To those who never know when
They will be given birth to

They concentrate they consolidate 
They fly apart in the wind

There is one now a child with its plaything
Being bidden to come along or this one
A woman at the well weeping

Now it is night and yet they continue to practice
Moving toward the moon like worshipers in the night 

Gerry Grubbs has a book forthcoming from Dos Madres Press, Learning A New Way To Listen
