Cloud: a visible mass of particles of condensed vapor (such as water or ice) suspended in the atmosphere
Suspended in the sky like floating tufts of divine cotton candy
Growing ever larger until they are too heavy to remain in the heavens
Until they fall back to the earth

How we can dance, twirling in the rain and laughing into the air endless blue expanse above
How we can grumble to each other, complaining about the bad weather
How we forget, that the snow and the rain
That the hail and the sleet
Are the remnants of dying clouds crunching beneath our feet
