A Cloud's Life
All clouds are only water and air
Beyond my mind, I am blank
Circling thoughts are mere casualties
Dust fills my lungs and dances
Everlasting ideas create a gentle emptiness
Floating in the sky, I am stripped of fear
Gaping holes have grown
Hope within me whispers and haunts
It does not seem to settle in
Judging me throughout my journey,
Keeping secrets I should have known
Leisurely, I drift past glimmers of light
My intuition tells me, this I shouldn’t miss
Near the horizon rises a nebula
Oceans of dreams scattered in the ozone
Possibilities appear and I can never be prepared
Quickly, I am stripped of apathy and my mind quiets
Rare courage forms inside of me, I am ready
Shadows flee and nightmares drown beneath the surface
Trembling fingers grasp illusions, now tangible
Under stars, my joy is uncontrollable
Valuable gems sway with a life that is visible
Wisdom is now an open domain within
