Meanwhile,
far away and on high,
the golden clouds of
the end of day
wore their favourite upsweep 'do'.
From high atop a distant peak
they began their roll...
to present themselves,
(it seemed in dreams)
to me... only me.
They clearly stated I was worthy
despite doubts,
fears,
nervous anticipations.
'You're 'IT',
and quite a bit, too'
they rumbled and cheerfully grumbled,
making me laugh at myself.
If these glorious tresses of
Madame Nature herself
said so...
WHO on earth was I to disagree?
