An Appreciation of Clouds

Feb 28, 2008 - 07:14 AM PST

The clouds, they pass, infinitesimally slow,
gliding across the azure sky,
changing, morphing, ever moving
starting as one, and becoming many,
flossy whiteness, gentle grayness,
a mass of downy white,
amassing in the distance, joining once again
a veritable force; enough to dim the sun,
alter the warmth once present
it's gift to us, a gentle rain, or
a torrential deluge
chaotic as always and powerful
from down here, however;
an unseemingly gentle ball of cotton
a woolen tuft,
certainly not a force of reckoning
always looking, down upon us, passing over
many times without it's wrathful measures
how unappreciated they truly are
once again, semblance of what was has vanished
a new sky remains, ever-present, ever watchful
ever unappreciated
