Islands in the Clouds

Sandra Detweiler

Have you ever climbed a buttein the fogwith the sun’s rays slantingvisiblythrough the trees?Have you reached the top,leaving fog and tree behindand seen a sea of white cloudsstretching awayin all directions?The treetops of otherhigh placespoke up through the mistand you dream of a shipthat could sail in this seaand bring you to another of theislandsin the clouds
