Self reflection

In the branches  
where the wind blows  
and daylight fights the shadows  
I found you.

Your head tilted back  
admiring the clouds  
in deep repose of thinking;  
I wondered,

What thought-strewn sea  
surges up?  
What white-clead breakers  
bear down  
and crash upon that brow?

Such storms within  
to counterpoint  
the tranquil skies above.
