CLOUDS

My name is written in the clouds

my fate is written there too,

I see it slip through my fingers

each time

to move the other way

to a destiny of its own

leaving me the bitter task

of severing the bonds

that held us together

while I shield my fragile spirit

and drift along

seeking, seeking....

and yet knowing for certain

deep within me

that somewhere

a mountain awaits

my arrival

to nestle me in its arms

Forever.
