Free As A Cloud Poem by Juan Olivarez

Oh to be free, as a cloud in the breeze,
Floating in a sky of blue.
Lighter than air with infinite ease,
Bathed in the setting sun's golden hue.

To travel round the world each day,
Seeing everything from on high.
And see what the Earth has on display,
As over the hills I'd fly.

Then over a parched piece of Earth,
I'd stop to gently cry.
And return to the ground some joy and mirth,
As a blessing from the sky.
