"There's a whole 'nother world above those rainclouds."

Would I could fall softly into that mountain valley
Through the sunray splashes and cumbersome clouds.
Find the tail ends of unfinished sentences—
The inexplicable bursts of mirth, secret heart passages
A genuine grin that spreads, the open palm—
And the inimitable tracings that line it.
