Analysis of I'm Cirrus About Clouds!



A cloud can be quite lonely as
It floats upon the wind
Without attachment each cloud has
When journeys start again.

It looks up high and wonders why
He never is above
All clouds below to watch them go
In search of crystal love!

To me all clouds are more than art
That floats from here to there,
Because in life they are a part
Of life for those who care.
