I see the clouds come floating in
From the northwest this morning
The weather forecast is for showers
This afternoon and strengthening
Perhaps turning to thunderstorms tonight
With flash floods following tomorrow
But for now there are only these soft clouds
Floating slowly past so far above me
And flowers dancing in my garden
No matter the distance they won’t see
Or touch in the way distant lovers do
Who far apart as yet have never met
Leaving them lonely still to wander by
While I watch their whispering cries
