just out of reach
out of breath for trying
you give me quite a race
to the end of the day
*
just out of reach
behind the sun is shining
the outline finger traced
you beckon me to play
*
just out of reach
my will is bent on flying
to meet you in a place
warmed always by your rays
*

Yesterday, I chased the clouds. The beautifully outlined clouds held back the sun’s full light.
There are some things you can never capture on camera. A glimpse of heaven I believe is one of them.
What do you chase in your excursions of life?
I am sharing this with Poetry Pantry where this always good poetry to catch.

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. In 2019, we have an exciting project. We are developing elementary curriculum for Ugandan children. As a writer, it is a thrill to help children who want to learn. Along with the curriculum, we hope to develop simple fictions about Uganda for the children to read at school. Trust me books are in short supply. We will use our trusted story tellers: a butterfly and a lion to make the stories come alive. Stay tuned as Bethany and Me put pen to paper.
I've been part of the blogging community for more than 10 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2012 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the (quiet) originator of the idea and co-producer of One Stop Poetry.
I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers.
There are many facets to this moon - thanks for stopping by.

We can always imagine catching the clouds even though we know it’s out of reach.In a way we can catch it when it falls as rain, just a thought,Leslie.

I do like the idea of chasing clouds away in search for warming rays. Seems we have done a lot of that this summer, as we have had so many overcast days.

How I adore clouds. I chase them all the time, sometimes in a car full of kids….today I sat with a little one by the side of a lake and we remarked how the clouds were perfect storybook clouds……..I think I could live simply for clouds alone, crossing that blue sky…….

Chase? I like the memories this poem arouses, though i don’t think I chase anything anymore. Maybe a firefly or two, a frog in a stream, a kind of light.

A beautiful poem here. I don’t chase the clouds, but often, from my back yard I watch and watch. What I pursue is not heaven but a deeper knowing of what is, who I am, love. I wind up with lots of questions. I really enjoyed reading this.

Loved the catching of your clouds. It is so true you can’t always capture the real image even if you have a camera. But the picture will help you to remember the moment.
