A Bubble Bath of Clouds
Lord: it is time. The huge summer has gone by.

Thank you for posting the beautiful poem. I felt compelled to read it in its entirety. I found 2 translations of it on line – in a way, it was like 2 completely different poems. I prefer the version that you posted – more terse, but each word more full of meaning.

Thank you Sandra!I’m glad you enjoyed it.
