Life of A Cloud

Warming rays, whisper as they rise, 
To tell they are soon to bring to view
In cooler air aloft before your eyes: 
A gentle wisp to counterpoint the blue.



Powdery puffs emerge to grant grace
Flying above us
As we float in space
The dreamy cotton is a plus


Cruising forth, she yearns for ageless life.
Oh how her hopes will disappear in vain,
Up in the sky, dancing to the fife.
To fade away as drops of closing rain.


Scant and lacy speak her living span
Near the heavens she flies about, where god blows his horn,
But she was there to populate her clan: 
From fallen tears, new daughters will be born.
