Daydreaming on a Cloud

Daydreaming on a Cloud

I floated above the world,

watching towns shrink into patterns beneath me.

The wind carried me without effort,

the sun warmed my skin,

and I closed my eyes to the quiet all around.

Time stretched and twisted,

and I felt a freedom I could not hold on the ground.

The clouds cradled me, soft and unyielding,

and I drifted through the sky like it was meant for me alone.

I thought of nothing, I thought of everything,

I let the air guide me through places that did not exist.

I wished I could remain,

letting the world spin below me,

letting myself exist only in the light,

only in the silence that belonged to me.
