overcoming doubt


I wish I could relieve the moment that I snapped this picture on my shitty CVS disposable camera.

The clouds were like waves
not measured in speed
but in depth and divinity
i did not blink, i did not breath, none of us could speak
we knew for sure
in that moment
that we were a part of something huge
the sun nestled in back of the nurturing mountains
like a child hiding behind hehind her mother,
fearing the world that cannot be explained
i took a stick that had fallen from a nearby tree
and i began to scribe a poem against the rock
i had to write to mother nature
and tell her
that for the longest time i thought beauty was intangiable
but in that moment, i could reach to the carpet of those clouds,
the peaks of those mountains, and i could taste the colors in the sky.
i had to thank her
for being something i could trust
