I Am a Cloud
I am a cloud.
My being is from many things,
Rivers, streams, oceans, lakes, They all make
A cloud.
As I grow,
I rise and pass the treetops, the birds, and even higher than the towering mountains.
I rise above the whole world, looking down upon it.
I wonder why I'm here.
Why I'm different from the rocks,
And the trees.
Why I'm different from the mountains
And the plains.
Why I had to be what I am -
A cloud.
As I gather bits and pieces of me,
From everywhere on Earth,
I can't hold myself together.
I am falling.
I fall
into pieces,
Which scatter far and wide.
From everywhere I came from,
I return to Reality,
Broken.
My world is crashing down,
But no one cares,
Because all I am is
A cloud
The normal everyday thing that is simply seen in the sky.
I gather no interest.
As my shattered ramains pitter-patter against windows,
I finally shudder
to a stop.
I am still.
As the darkness is slowly illuminated, I can only do one thing.
Slowly,
I rise,
Once more.
I am
A cloud.
I begin the never ending cycle of falling and picking myself up.
I have but one thought-
Will I ever stay up high in the sky?
And not fall apart every time I get up?
But,
Though a cloud,
I realize the truth.
I will always fall.
And I will always get back up.
I am an endless cycle.
I am
-But a simple
Cloud.
