Billowed Clouds


In the billow lies a city of dreams
Surrounded by blue crystal skies
In misted guise an image streams
Camelot forms before widened eyes

Kingdom looms inside swirling walls
Castle is seen upon a rolling cloud
The shifting scene houses Arthur's halls
Within, Merlin conjures beneath his shroud

Squinting, on a grassy knoll, children gaze
Lost in the swellings of a placid show
Always somewhere the sequence plays
In a billow of clouds dreams will grow
