Be

Be

If I were a cloud

I would be

a cloud

floating, dancing, loving,

unity.

I would not claim autonomy

I would surrender in ease

following winds path for me.

I would feel not shame in my

figure

swollen

grey

looming

nor cry

Superior!

When I came

light and airy

reclining on a summers breeze.

And when I found my life poured out in tears,

torrential or soft

I would be content

and surrender

to my call

to be a cloud.

I would be.
