in cloud formations, as if
true essence dwells there?
Naturally, I search outward
afraid to find nothing within.

Masterful! The great philosophy of thinking: inside out vs. outside in. I love the way you formed this. Jealous of this one: wish I had written it! But glad you did. Beautiful work!

Lovely poem and image. Did I understand correctly when you said the image is your own that you have painted it? It is amazing.
