I See You, Cloud

I See You, Cloud
3/22/13

I see you, wispy cloud
floating freely across the sky.
You're light, carefree, alive.
All is well, and time moves quickly.

Now the sky darkens,
unexpected storms arrive.
You're dark, burdened, carrying a heavy load.
Time inches by through this perilous season.

Your rain has run dry
and a rainbow promises relief.
Yet scars linger in your gray hues.
You begin to move again, and time follows your lead.

I see you cloud, large and full
dancing into dusk.
Colliding with the sun, your time-healed wounds
create a masterpiece of purples, oranges, blues
and time stands in your stillness.
