Ideas continue to fall

Ideas continue to fall






The heavens linger and with the changing seasons the planets and stars circulate the sky. "Heaven is the distance of the Sun." Said, the moon to the Sun. Oh, but why said the moon? The moon spinning around the Earth made an enquiry to God but knew in its moon substance the history of the universe like a meteorite might know a star to ask. Out there, in the heavens the planets continue to circulate the Earth and the Sun and even though light years pass in a second, they are close to infinity in number to reach the Sun. Endless years pass through time and space but to reach the heavens takes an eternity of thinking while clouds pass over in thought, the stars and moon shine away. How ancient can yesterday be?

Clouds roll on and cover the sky for another rainy day. Rainy clouds tend to rain on the inside as the rain falls heavily on the roof and although a calm sense of being secure inside while it rains outside gives no less clouded feelings, your mind spins on a spiral, spinning as the Earth spins on its axis and the clouds spin around the sky. Gravity tends to pull the clouds around with the rain lowering the clouds to the earth, heavy and saturated with rain. Raining on your mind the clouds tend to pull your ideas down as lowering them with the rain through your mind on a cloudy day. Mountains appear out of the clouds and along with the volcanic formation of mountains, gravity blows the clouds away. If with the fire of a mountain ideas tend to be choked and clouded with thick smoke and ash, rain clouds may soon harden the mountain. Ideas and rain formulate in the same manner and eventually fall down with the rain clouds to earth with rain.

Accumulation of matter such as water falls silently through the clouds as air is pregnant with rain and ideas continue to fall.
