Inkling: The Clouds

The clouds surround me
an inkling of what is to come
in majestic blue surroundings
we are one

Floating through the sky
observing the world below
there are mountains and valleys
life is easy and slow

Further we stretch
going across the land
gathering up moisture
turning into a rain band

Nourishing the trees
giving life before the desert sun
wildlife scurries to follow us
drinking water before we are done

Stretching further
becoming one with the arctic ice
now riding on the wind
it feels quite nice

Now we are a cloud
time to start the cycle again
my soul is refreshed
living in the wind
