I sit and watch the clouds drift by
Forming pictures in the sky
Swirling, changing billowing high
As the birds around them fly
Between the white are hints of blue
A sunbeam slowly breaking through
To shine it's light onto the ground
As clouds cast shadows all around
They crash together, make no sound
Merge with each other in swirling mounds
Piling high upon the Horizon
On Thermal drifts that gently Raise them
But soon the droplets will appear
Conglomerate to tiny spheres
where gravity will pull them down
To fall as rain upon the Ground
The Sun it shines, the rain disperses
The water´s chemical form reverses
And wanders as Vapor up into the sky
To make more clouds to please my eye.

I saw a film once where an old Man was explaining to his granddaughter that all water - clouds Oceans, rivers, the water within us are the same. All part of the same cycle. Things vanish or die and are reborn in a different form. The vapor we breathe out is absorbed and may well one day become part of a cloud!
