Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Clouds Are Like Life

 
I look to the sky at the clouds drifting,
they float, billow, changing shape and shifting;
clouds remind me of life's diversity,
of the good times and the adversity.
And life . . . like a cloud never stays the same,
living is like a dauntless gambling game;
hold a cloud still or lost beauty reclaim.
It is just impossible to achieve,
words and thoughts impossible to retrieve;
but we still hold on . . .  and memories weave.
