Soft and fleeting, white and gray,
Clouds drift gently, then drift away.
Carried by winds both wild and free,
They paint their stories across the sea.
A canvas vast, the endless blue,
Their shapes are ever fresh, ever new.
A lion, a ship, a castle high,
They form and vanish with a sigh.
In dawn's first light, they blush with gold,
A promise of warmth the day will hold.
And as the sun begins to wane,
They turn to fire, then soft champagne.
When storms arise, they gather near,
Dark and heavy, they bring their fear.
Yet after the rain, they part with grace,
Revealing the sun's forgiving face.
Eternal wanderers, silent and proud,
The poets of heaven-oh, gentle cloud.
They teach us to move, to change, to be,
Boundless and free, like waves on the sea.
In an effort to vent, a young individual has been writing poetry, being this his first poetry book, just a collection of some of the numerous poems already written. Most of the poems related to a romantic aspect or a new personal revolution, hence, it is symbolically related in a few of them to one of the historical watersheds more impactful not just for the author, but for the society, the French Revolution, as it involved the overthrow of an absolute monarchy. Meanwhile, for the author's personal revolution it involved a huge empowerment against others, hence, the present poetry book is considered as the modern manifestum for the author.
