The Man in the Clouds

Yesterday,
A man dissappeared in the clouds.

He'd been carrying a burden
That was wearing him down.

Yesterday,
A man dissappeared in the clouds.

He'd been chasing a moon
That was too far gone.

I watched him unloosen
His heavy pack,
That had held him tied to the ground

And with a whimsical tap
Of his solemn feet
He ascended
Into the sky, no longer bound

By earthly cares and worries
Pressures due,
All these things that nag and bother
Me and you.

Yesterday,
A man dissappeared in the clouds.

A first I worried
But upon seeing his glee
I realized he was free
To do as he pleased

And I was the fool
For staying behind
Confining myself
To apples
And orange rinds.

Yesterday,
A man dissappeared in the clouds.

Enviously, I watched him go
Knowing secretly,
That man was me

All along.

Don't you know?
