The clouds
Have their moment,
Fleeting, beautiful,
But not here to stay.

I, too, am beautiful,
In my own brief day---
A bright plume drifting,
And floating away . . .

. . . just a little thought that occurred to me, as I watched puffs of cumulus, passing and vanishing into the wondrous blue.

Beauty can be a state of mind, yann, as I tried to reflect in the little poem. Thanks for the kind comment.

cloud watching is one of my favourite pastimes..not much to watch here though except snow at present..looking forward to blue skies again soon after reading your lovely calming poem.
