Cloud

I wander places like a lonely cloud Wander and go, Go where the wind takes me I soar through the skies, Looking for respite Looking for solace But do I find it? Can I find it? I've forgotten my purpose, Forgotten why I wander Wander through the sky, Searching for something I have all the freedom I can imagine Not like others, Who are tied down by regret I have all this freedom, Yet I am not free Not free to make my own choices, Not free to go where I want As welcoming as it is, The wind is my master It directs me, Pushes me places Places I don't want to go I watch helplessly as once again, Once again I am pushed Pushed to an unfamiliar place But when the sky clears, I stay Stay for what seems like forever, Drifting endlessly in this void But soon, the wind returns, Reclaiming it's hold on me This time I'm glad it arrived At least with it, I have some sense, Some sense of control
