Cotton Wool Clouds

I have tried
To capture the words of your pen
Speaking of cotton wool clouds 
But no matter how much I stare
There is nothing I can see

I have tried
To dream the dreams you paint
About the color of life
Caught up in a dancing sky 
Amidst mayhem's speckled dreams

I have tried
Only to find myself
Lost in my own inkless words
Within this poem
That waits for no reply

I have tried to place it 
Inside of your cotton wool clouds poem
A poem whose winds breathe of life
And carry me across timeless sands
Far, far, far away... to you
