Touching

Up high, I touched a cloud
thinking it would be clingy
as that tasty lick of cotton-candy
stretched and stringy -- 
Touched a heart! Stuck forever.
Now wasn’t that also sweet
and clever!?

Touching a heart is much more sweeter than touching the cloud. Going up and up doesn't always guarantee us happiness, but if we can win hearts, it gives us greater joy.
