View Full Version : A Cloud in the Sky

Today there was a cloud in the sky
There was only one,
And it didn’t pass me by.

It sang me a song that was sweet as could be.
A melody like lullabies,
That only mocking birds sing

It’s only a cloud, you’d think as you lie,
In a puddle of leaves that face towards the sky.
That’s the beauty of sight,
It can be what you like,
In the eye of the beholder that cloud is a kite.

Streaming with ribbons on its colorful seems,
It flies through the sky unattached to its strings.
Today in the sky, a cloud was a kite, a beautiful ride,
That made my dreams shine so bright.

When next comes the day that a single cloud stays,
Remember the song that the mocking bird plays,
For only a cloud that’s a kite in the sky,
Can show you your soul, in its very own way.

That is SO good - and I hate poetry normally :D
I love this, you've made me like poetry, happy ones at least :D
Your link to the beginning and end with the mocking bird is brilliant, your analogy of a cloud is also amazing.
Well done Ryne, I'm thoroughly impressed :D
