The day was bright the sea calm
holidaymakers and locals
enjoying the long sandy beach
in the sky-high clouds
started to mask the hot sunlight
for a while was a blight!
Looking up they beheld a marvel
on a cloud a city
floating huge skyscrapers visible
silently moving by
was this a parallel world they saw
as they stared in awe!
More gathered to witness this event
never before seen
by the throng on the golden sands
was it an illusion
from whispers to a crescendo grew
in that shimmering hue!
Then the images faded from their gaze
disappearing into clouds
no tall buildings were on this coastline
what had filled their vision
the answers could not be found here
a conundrum was clear!
Had they been privileged with insight
or spectacular fantasy of delight?
The mystery has never been solved!
The Foureyed Poet.
