THE CLOUDS

The clouds in my eyes turn so thick,
The vision is blur, yet I can see,
No better place than this moment,
To cherish and appreciate is what I seek.

The clouds in my eyes soar so high,
But hours past they fade away,
I pretend to stop yet I feel that,
I might lie on them and explore the sky.

The clouds in my eyes are full of thought,
Some I regard as precise and yet some are vague,
I fear my words might get mislaid,
As I try to hold them tight with a knot.

The clouds in my eyes make me ruminate,
About all those things that I did not dare to think,
And though the clouds are light, my eyes a sky,
I'm left dreaming as the clouds lift me from my present state.
