I Wonder
Rae
I wonder if clouds know they're beautiful
When they sit and watch from the the sky
I wonder if they know how dangerous and threatening they are
When thunder cries out
I wonder if they know how they turn colors
When the sun hits them just right
I walk to work wondering if they know
I wish I could live up there with them
I could be puffy and white
And no one would say anything
Because that's how clouds are
I wish I could reflect the sun
But only be full of rain
If I was full of rain
I wouldn't be full of emotion
Clouds don't become angry
Or sad
Clouds don't fall in love
And realize their love wasn't real
I wonder if clouds know how truly breath-taking they are
If I could stay and lay on the grass all day
And watch them
I would
I've driven through clouds once
It was like a dream
I pulled over and felt the fleeting puffs wisp by
I felt the rain wet my skin
I felt the cold penetrate my clothes
I felt the wind tangle my hair
And most of all
I felt the thrill of being in the clouds
I wonder if they thought of me as beautiful
As much as I saw them that way.
