The Council Of Clouds

by Juan Manuel Perez

the sky will not fall
as so many predicted
cloud council will stand

for all the fair things
for all the very right things
for it is nature

cloud council will speak
upon those who live about
upon those who are

though it can not stand
for those who do not seek peace
for those who love war

their heads will wave fair
upon spikes along the trail
peering those who heed

they will walk the earth
lost mighty warriors of old
like rivers of blood

seeking the dark ones
who still seek self–destruction
the clouds have spoken
