A Single Lonely Cloud Floating By

A single lonely cloud floating by
casting a small shadow on the ground
a shadow that changes as the cloud
is twisted and altered by a breeze

As it slowly moves on, it shape shifts
now a swan but wait a fiery chariot
that thunders by, a forest in the sky
mountains and houses, even a lake

The wind strengthens blowing more
clouds to combine into a shiny city
icicles hang down forming diamonds
that glitter and sparkle in the sunshine

A single lonely cloud floating by
captures my imagination setting it afire
filling me with wonder as I watch it
put on its own spectacular solitary show

Hi Shadow,
I really like this one, being a cloud watcher myself, the dreamer comes out in me and the most wondrous things my eyes do see. And then the little white cloud cries in its loneliness.
Have a good day.
Catch you later,
MIKE.

This is fun shadow,
captures the imagination as surely as the real thing
