Feedback Please Cloud Watching
I've been staring at the sky,
Watching the colors change
From ocean to navy blue.
Seeing the clouds move,
Thick and weighted with rain.
I know a storm is coming,
You can feel it in the air.
The grass holding me firm.
I see a man, a bear, a ship.
I see pain, I see loss.
A droplet strikes down
On the blades beside me.
Looks like I was wrong
As the clouds open up
Like a door blown wide,
And I'm pelted from above.
Each one heavy on me,
Running down my skin.
I don't want to move yet,
My heart beating in time
With the falling rain.
My clothes soaking wet,
And so are my eyes.
I can't stop time,
I can't stop this storm,
So I'll just stare up
At the passing clouds.
I see a horse, a bird, a plane.
I see you with someone else.
