I Want To Be A Cloud
<p>For so long, I yearned to be a star, one of the stars shining up high in the sky<br />
when it’s dark and cold all around,<br />
spreading light and warmth in my proximity<br />
and twinkling all through the night<br />
till morning rays of the sun devour me,<br />
my shine lost somewhere in between the sun’s rays,<br />
my warmth burned by the heat.</p>
<p>But now, I want to be a cloud,<br />
floating from one place to another,<br />
aiming to touch a star here and there,<br />
playing hide and seek,<br />
hiding the bright moon under my fluffy coat,<br />
pretending not to see the moon.</p>
<p>A cloud, one that can be seen in the dark and the light,<br />
wearing hues of red and orange in the twilight,<br />
drifting in between the day and the night.</p>
<p>A cloud, always offering shade,<br />
creating patches of white in the blue sky,<br />
shifting shape as the breeze embraces me,<br />
making friends with birds and trees,<br />
leaves and bushes.</p>
