Clouds drift and linger
We reach the moon beyond the infinite and keep travelling past Pluto and the Sun through the clouds. To travel through clouds could take you to the stars thinking of the skies and the infinite. Are we gods of the night galloping across skies to catch up with the Sun on the other side of the world or just dreaming of the infinite? Skies of infinite variations of clouds and sky, rise in the East as the stars and planets go to sleep, an infinite sunrise has woken the gods for millions of years. Angels travel your day until sunset and the clouds of thought, thinking an infinity of stars for your ideas, your angel is your thoughts in the clouds and the air to breathe. Eternal and infinite, the Earth for the gods and the angels, continues. Although there was a beginning and an end of the world, Earth was born from the cosmos of fertile galaxies in the infinite skies. You wonder how long the Earth is going to spin on an axis, creaking around the Sun. What is the sound the Earth makes spinning? You could imagine stones creaking and eventually falling through the universe to make other galaxies and universes on an infinite and perpetual cycle of the Sun. Every day, the Sun rises and days begin, Earth appears joyous with the songs of birds and an infinity of sunrises. Do other planets experience the same sunsets and sunrises? Spinning closer to the Sun would produce longer and shorter days. Is the Sun our final destination as a planet? We live in memory of the Sun but have we existed at all for our universe of the sunrises and sunsets? Infinity would know the history of the Earth and its skies. We are the skies of a thousand sidereal days to infinity. The moon continues to rise with the stars and brighten the night sky or the clouds. Infinite is our Solar System for the planets and the Milky Way, the skies of our solar days and nights. We are infinite and the sky for God, the skies of a million moons. Skies and the moon, unite, in infinity. We are the sky.
We are the skies of the stars at night, rising with the moon and clouds drift. The trees are illuminated by the skies at night or the moon and the Autumn leaves fall to the ground. Angels are your sky where clouds are your thoughts of angels in the sky. Clouds and the sky.
Drifting the clouds, drift. The clouds do nominate the weather vane but drift. If only you could read the clouds and the patterns of the clouds in the sky. For centuries we have known of the skies covering the sky but generally patterns of clouds would differ from the Earth slowly travelling on an axis. You could imagine the planet Earth moving slightly on its circuit around the Sun, unnoticeably changing its pathway. The Earth is on the pathway of meteorites and asteroids but does not have to be and they would not always be destructive enough to destroy the Earth but are not going to. Variables of destruction always have a variable or likelihood of not happening. The Earth's atmosphere is designed to absorb most foreign bodies or the Earth would no longer be here in our Solar System. How the Earth was formed and how the Earth is going to end, we only know because we are human, life has a beginning and an end. Perhaps the Earth, long before the human race, simply spun on an axis like an old rock and may continue to spin if the human race disappeared but we can sense the outcome of the Earth may not come to this. After we have entered the angel realm of heaven are there going to continue to be clouds in the sky?
Clouds linger for the distance of God, the distance to the Sun. We are clouds for God where angels equal the rain, tears of angels are golden drops but the rain is their need. Clouds of rain. Clouds are only in our atmosphere because of the asteroids and meteorites entering our gravity, the gravity of Earth. The waters do sing of the gravity of Earth, we are the angels and all the heavens and the Earth. Earth's gravity. Clouds drift and linger.
