Cloud Without Water
Was it cowardice
Or an embrace
Of an
Omen,
The unknown
Meeting the known
That only
I
Could have
Known,
Or did I embrace
The face
Of illusion,
Causing it to become
Manifestation -
In a station
Or state
Of soulful
Connection, in full?
Whatever the cause,
The cost
Was
That I lost you,
And even though
I forced myself to dance
Entranced – Ecstatic,
From every cloud
I fell –
Emphatic,
Because water
Has a memory,
And well…
You were
Everything to me,
Everything
I became a cloud
Over a cavern
Counting the sorrows
Of minutes,
Hours -
Into lost tomorrows,
A lost see
Of me,
Until that hour
I became
A cloud without water.

Author's Note
I had the idea for this a few days ago... and wrote down a brief note and decided to explore the wave.
