Storms Over Africa

In the sky are balls of cloud,
Little things that spin round and round.
They slip and slide and blow and breeze,
Throw shadows across the rolling ground.
And every ball or bubble of cloud,
Holds my eyes deeply spellbound,
Flourescent, discounted, talking, listening,
Turning, folding, dripping down.
And I wonder what I have found,
As I watch the clouds,
Float over this holy ground.

Here's a photo taken on an old Fuji XP-80 in Tenerife. I believe its a lenticular cloud, probably formed by rising currents of moist air in the mountainous area near the coast. It was quite a sight.
