Clouds

How can something so far be so beautiful ?

Up in the sky ,
it mocks us down below .
For we are prisoners ,
of the ground .

Doomed to be forever here ,
we walk the earth ,
to every corner and every turn .

But still I am not satisfied ,
for my feet are planted on the spot .
But ; my heart and mind ,
it dwells in the ever changing and never ending clouds .

Oh , how I watch the birds from afar soar through the wind ,
and look at airplanes ripping through the clouds .

I wish I was there ,
jumping from cloud to cloud .
I wish I had wings ,
to free me of my imprisonment .

But still ,
nothing changed .
So I still watch from afar ,
and wonder .

How can something so far be so beautiful ?
