The Cloud

There’s something to be said,

About clouds.

Floating around in the sky,

Far beyond reach.

For there is beauty,

In what we cannot touch,

And only see.

And something novel,

In a thing of dreams. 

 

Sometimes I wish I could be a cloud,

Be something that is no more than a wisp in the air,

Something of speculation,

Of shape,

And a object of childhood fantasies

Of living in a cloud,

Far away from worldly struggles.

 

I’d like to be that escape,

That daydream of childhood notions

Of joy, and laughter, and hope.

I wish above all to be this cloud,

To be that escape for myself,

Away from worries and trials and tribulations.

And FREE

I really enjoyed this. And as a writer/poet; you are free - you're untethered from time and reality in many ways; you are the memories and the stories you want to tell/recall. That's the magic of writing. Maybe you are a cloud, after all.
