That cloud looks like a

beautiful dream I can't quite

reach, at least not yet.

    This is an amazing Sky-Ku. I love the scope and depth embodied herein despite the fact there are only three lines. So lovely.

    This is so perfect! Thank you so much for writing this - it resonates deeply with me. From the image to your lament then your realization of possibility. Vulnerability and Resilience. Pain and hope. And all of this in just 17 syllables! With kindness and gratitude Pauline 🌸 Please feel no pressure to read but if you do you will see, I think, we are both ‘sky mind’ people... https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/my-urban-forest%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
