weathering the mind

Cloud Watching

my thoughts are like the clouds β€”

never still,

never asking permission

to change shape.

they drift in slow, uneven patterns,

some light enough to pass unnoticed,

thin as whispers against the sky.

others darken without warning,

rolling in heavy rain and lightning

storms i feel coming

but never know where to seek shelter.

i watch them gather,

wait them out,

and hope to god the sky remembers

how to clear itself.
