“Clouds like mountains/Lots of clouds”
There is a riverside embankment that I sometimes pass through.
My line of sight gets a little higher, and the streetscape spreads below me.
There are mountains and a Ferris wheel in the distance. It’s the scenery I’m used to seeing.
But I can’t stare at the scenery. Because I’m driving when I pass there.
One evening, I felt that some mountains were increasing in my sight.
Mountains never actually increase. But there were mountains in a different direction than usual.
When I glanced at them, I found them to be clouds, not mountains.
The dark clouds spread like mountains near the horizon.
An optical illusion. My misunderstanding. Still I felt like I got something good.
Similarly, as I dimly stare at the sky covered with lots of clouds, I see them as something else.
I would like to find familiar encounters that are often overlooked and enjoy them.
