Clouds

Stretching fingers across the blue

Reaching, searching for an end 

You never find as you travel the skies,

Never sleeping, always moving, journey never done,

Drifting shadows across the sun

Like the drifting thoughts that cloud my mind,

Sailing the seas up above

Pushed and pulled by the tides of heaven,

Ghostly outlines, silently passing

Bestowing their blessing on the land,

Bringing gifts to some, cruelty to others,

Rain for the farmers, drought for his fellow man,

Shape shifting - stirring the imagination-

Whales swimming, fishes flying, dragons breathing fire,

Bright and breezy at sunrise in the east

Iridescent, shimmering at sunset in the west,

A witches coven brewing, dressed in black,

Temper tantrums thundering on the air way

The population of Earth\'s ceiling at play.
