Clouds

a summer sky, blue, white and grey
was staring at it for a long time
tracing airplanes, following birds
wishing it was possible to climb
up towards those sailing white ships
and lay down safely above it all
but decided to stay on my towel
tiny bit afraid that I might fall

I saw Dino today, and Fred Flintstone
a whale, majestic, a cat chasing a mouse
the breeze touching my body and face
seeking shelter against the heat in my house
those fluffy white clouds made me smile
taking me back to my childhood days
thank you summer, thank you wind and sun
I'll remember you fondly, always...
