Pictures In the Sky

White clouds sail across skies of blue
Like an ocean above, I view
Sailing, floating, just like a kite
Merging together, feels so light
Pictures in the sky, I create
As my mind tip toes around fate
A few light raindrops catch my eye
Falling from pictures in the sky
A smile emerges just in time
To see the kites fly in this rhyme
To make a boat from paper too
And sail through peaceful skies of blue
