Floating Shapes

A cloud floated by as the wind sighed and shaped for me some things to see It formed a heart in its glide Before it broke apart and floated wide Another cloud wandered near and fashioned out a dog for me Soon the tail became clear and the dog sailed over a tree! As the next cloud came by It formed an elephant in the sky Its trunk reached out to the blue and then away it flew! 3-9-2023

Cloud watching is one of my past-time-enjoyment. This would be perfect for children insight in learning. It will show them to be observant and let their imagination to form words of shapes and movement. Blessings my friend

In the clouds, a heart was formed and then it broke apart. A very tender moment indeed. When animals form in the clouds, it's very enjoyable to see. Your thoughts have me floating on a cloud. :) My best to you, Joseph. :) Hugs, Brandy
