Cotton candy clouds
Slowly dance into sight
Yellow, orange, and pink
In the fading light.
*
Ever-changing,
Capturing attention
Different shapes
Evoking imagination
By day, they wear
Their colors pale
Light and puffy
Of varied scale
*
Ever-changing,
Capturing attention
Different shapes
Evoking imagination
Some fill the sky
In dark, angry hues
And they may cry
Whenever they choose
*
Ever-changing,
Capturing attention
Different shapes
Evoking imagination
*
Why is it clouds
Can blend with others
Ignoring shape,
Ignoring colors?
*
We can learn
From clouds, it's true
Don’t worry about shape, color,
Or what you go through
*
Cry or shine
Whenever you choose,
Do your best
To amaze and amuse.
*
Join with others,
Get loud, make thunder
Fly free, be something
Of a wonder.
