A cloud drifts softly through the sky
A fleeting ghost where shadows lie
It kisses the earth with a transient trace
A whisper of presence a moments grace
Yet it never lingers bound to its flight
Chasing the horizon dissolving in light
Its wings are tethered to skies untold
To the endless blue both wild and cold
A journey eternal no rest no stay
Forever it dances then fades away
Not chained to the ground but free in its hue
A cloud belongs to the infinite blue
