Clouds float by

Clouds as light as wedding veils float by

Fitting decorations for the sky.

The sky  so huge and beautiful is calm.

Absent thunder can this cause us harm?

The human world of houses shops and schools

All are shaped and ordered by known rules

And underneath the sky so calm and light

The earth can quake and shudder day or night

The human world is easy to destroy 

Bombs or earthquakes do more than annoy

Our human mind has tempests of its own.

Suddenly the unknown swamps the known

What is the flood that heals, the flood that drown?

Display the Catherine wheels, bring on the clowns
