Dancing in the Clouds

Above the world, where sunlight streams, 
And cotton candy clouds, like dreams, 
I dance with wisps of silver white, 
A symphony of airy light.

No gravity to hold me down, 
I twirl and leap, with joyous sound, 
A ballet born of sunlit air, 
Where whispers of the wind, I share.

The moon, a silver orb so bright, 
Looks down upon my airy flight, 
And stars, like diamonds, softly gleam,
As I perform this celestial dream.

With every turn, a new delight, 
A whirlwind of pure, ethereal light, 
I dance among the clouds so high, 
A spirit free, beneath the sky.

And when the dawn begins to break, 
I leave this dance, for earth's own sake, 
But in my heart, the memory stays, 
Of dancing in the clouds, for endless days.

Paige, your words mean the world--like a sunbeam cutting through morning mist. I’m so glad this one lifted you. Here’s to many more cloud-dancing days for both of us.
