I Was a Cloud by Mark W. Roy

 

I was a cloud

I came to be one day,

I know not how or why this is

Somehow I found my way.

 

Looking down upon the Earth

My mind is so amazed,

To see the different sights below

That glisten through the haze.

 

Everywhere I traveled

The sights they never end,

But, everything is different

In the wind around the bend.

 

Below the desert and the sea,

Each lives their life at ease,

As those that move upon them

Always do just as they please.

 

The horizon never ceases

To share a new surprise,

I truly wish everyone could see

The beauty with their own two eyes.

 

I will not be forever

Or continue on through time,

Reflecting distant shadows

Or dreaming little rhymes.

 

The winds I feel surround me

How it takes me by surprise,

Stretching everything I am

I finally realize.

 

Without the winds to move me,

Through the skies of yesterday,

I’d never see the sunrise,

Or travel on my way.

 

The rustle in the heavens

Brings a gathering in the sky,

Could I become the weather?

Or a sunset passing nigh?

 

I hope I will remember

How it felt to be alive.

After the sun has warmed the branches,

Once the weather clears the sky.

 

Someday I hope I’ll reappear

As the southern winds unfold,

On another day, in another sky,

Someday, will I be old?

 

I might have been a minute,

Or I may have been a mile.

Look up I hope you see me.

I’ll brighten up your smile.
