Cumulus, Cirrus, Cirrostratus

Volatile yet soothing
Dangerous yet appeasing
Powerful yet placating
Life giving yet life destroying
Cumulus, cirrus, cirrostratus

Feathers, cotton balls, bed sheets
Wandering, lonely, outcast
I dance, I float, I whirl, I watch
Cumulonimbus, cirrocumulus

Morphing, fluid, streaming
Translucent, ancient, sombre
Prodigious, vast, ethereal
A blanket of vapour in the sky
Arcus, pileus, cirrus

Hovering, drifting, imagining,
Dreaming of childhood
Peace, future, solace
Elusive, silent, intangible
Cumulus, cirrus, cirrostratus
