Clouds often go unnoticed, but they are so much like us

Clouds often go unnoticed, but they are so much like us,
soft and distant travelers, floating through a sky full of unknown thoughts,
meeting like strangers, carried by the same wind of chance,
staying for a while, then quietly parting, without promises or storms.
They do not ask the sky to stop, nor beg the sun to linger longer,
even in their parting, they shine for a moment, then continue to move anyway,
perhaps alone, but never lonely, carrying rain and light in their souls,
changing shape but never losing the grace that defines them.
And maybe that's all we need—to move, to meet,
to let go and rise again, for life is a balance to be learned,
to be strong while feeling fragile, to hold heavy thoughts like dark clouds,
to find peace in solitude and yet rise, constant and sure, regardless of the sky.
Because life means learning to shine even in moments of parting,
to embrace fragility and maintain the elegance of change within you,
to float through the winds of countless dreams and not get lost in the tumult,
to find your path, to find your peace, and to rise, no matter what the sky may bring.
