Clouds

I lie on my bed

and gaze out at the sky

watching candy-floss clouds,

ever-changing, drift by

They remind me of women

in so many ways,

delicate and beautiful,

they never cease to amaze

No two are the same,

some are dark, some are flighty;

their gentle looks hide

a power so mighty

They can be bright and inspiring

or threaten you with thunder,

they can raise your spirits

and break the spell you're under

Their form and appearance

alters with such subtle effect,

once they catch your eye

they're hard to neglect

But turn your back and they're gone,

disappeared into thin air;

were you just dreaming,

were they ever really there?
