The Mountains' Clouds (poem)

The clouds drifted over the mountains,
hiding their rounded tips in fluffy white
overlooking forests bordered by the sea,
a vast infinite expanse beyond the horizon.

In a little town by the water,
people scramble to prepare weddings, –
and funerals –
as the clouds pass indifferently above.

Their unseen eyes witness vastness,
under which we are but specks,
grains of sand on a vibrant desert,
leaves on a forest canopy.

When the clouds finally descend
in a flurry of water droplets,
they fall when and where they must,
regardless of the needs of the leaves.

-Zero
