Clouds

Dark as weathered slate

Raining down shadows
Splashing down gray
In asymmetrical lines
Like soft brushstrokes from heaven to earth
As cool as a dripping popsicle
 
But have you ever looked from the other side?
 
Brighter than a brand new nickel
Shining in the sun
Twisting and twining
Like cotton candy in a machine
Looking as soft as new cotton balls
And warm as a sheepskin jacket in the summer
