Clouds

Surrounded by clouds amidst a blue sky,
A harsh wind whips puffs of white off the nimbus,
Which tumble and somersault in the air carelessly.
I look upon my bare feet, half submerged in the pillowy mass,
And remember a faint memory of the grass between my toes.
I dream of being bored wasting away time on a beach again,
As things were so long ago —
Anything to distract me from how things have become.
The only thing better than a perfect world
Is an imperfect world with another.
I look dejectedly to either side, once again realizing my solitude.
