Clouds in photos
A collection of clouds
is a collection of moments,
of days just lived,
or days just breaking,
the whisper of what’s to come,
the shadow of what was,
a reminder that beauty
is both ephemeral,
and true,
often at the same time,
and that moments and feelings
and memories can come
in every texture,
every one of a million
blends of color,
these paintbrush strokes across
the sky
will never be reproduced again,
the heavens don’t know
how to counterfeit,
they only know
how to breathe
