Clouds

This is a "found" poem based on a book...


Clouds dance and go on
Every kind moves in its own way
Awake, rise from the land


Quiet steady, up from the ocean
Near the mountains, lift and bend
Bubble up, years worn away


Flowing across the land
Alone they dance as far as the eye can see
They do not last forever


Year after year, pile up beneath the stars
Their slow dance goes on, endless beauty
A brief moment in the vast history of the universe
