The clouds spoke to me today, <br />they did; it's true. <br />They said; clouds, <br />cumulus, grey, cream, <br />changing, reflecting, light, <br />free. <br />The clouds spoke to me today, <br />and that is what they said. <br /> <br />You spoke to me today, <br />You did; it's true. <br />You said; man, <br />father, husband, lover, <br />good, bad, complicated, <br />bound. <br />You spoke to me today, <br />and that is what you said. <br /> <br />I listened to the clouds today, <br />I listen everyday, <br />I do; it's true. <br />I hope that tomorrow <br />you will talk to me that way. <br />And that is what I said, <br />when I listened to the clouds today, <br />and heard what they had said.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-clouds-today/
