from on top of the clouds

just a haze at first,

the morning clouds

reveal what lies beneath

its blanket.

the awakening glow

grows with each passing moment

like a mystery

slowly being told.

indistinguishable lights

line the hidden earth.

alive but still,

an entire world waits,

undiscovered by my eyes.

seemingly unreal,

the rolling hills

and reaching mountains

lay near flat,

the valley mist the only evidence

of their stand.

the sky blinks both day and night,

and after rubbing its eyes,

at last the world can breathe.
