clouds

Inspired by a conversation with Candy the other day.

clouds

I think hearts are like clouds.
at a distance they are solid,
often imagined in various shapes
to suit our moods or fancies
or to subtly test other people's
imaginations or intelligence.

But close up, they are ethereal.
Capable of great power and force,
wind and lightning and flooding rains
that sweep away whole continents.
But you cannot hold them, for they
were made to blow wild and free.
