That lonely cloud
floats listlessly in the sky
alone
with no one else
like him
Floating without direction
no reason or place
alone
with no one that
seems to really care
He doesn’t search for
more clouds though they may be
alone
because he knows he’s
not like them
Other clouds may crowd the sky
overcasting it, but our cloud still feels
alone
lost amongst the crowd which he has
no connection to
It’s hard to say if he’s lonely or not
since he has gotten used to floating
alone
but it would be hard to say that
he’s truly happy too
So he floats along
past the dancing daffodils,
laughing, golden in their bliss
past the road winding its way
to the unreachable horizon
past the forests and the seas,
where everything has their place
Finally, he drifts
around the lonely earth, spinning in space,
for all her neighbourly planets
are unlike her
Just a quick poem for fun. I will be writing a fuller post soon.
