I was kissed by a cloud today
It found me when I was looking elsewhere
For someone to love

I lavished time
Passing folk
Preened for nobody
Squandered moments that were better spent
In growth.

Look at me, I cried,
Then when they did
I cried,
For I knew they saw me
As I am.

I felt a touch
Softer than a dream’s shadow
Touching me in places
That rarely saw the light of day.
And when I looked for the source
I was moist
With sky tears
Weeping at the beauty
Of what I am.
