Clouds

You have to be careful, being the heaviest thing in a weightless atmosphere, 

bouncing quickly from puff to puff

before you fall

because it's a long way down

You have to be watchful, to see through the blanket of mist

It swarms you every which way

leary for the birds you don't want to hit

Because it's a long way down

You have to be enjoying yourself,

in the cumulous nebula,

 or it's a chore to be in awe

Fly in the billows, for a little while,

before it becomes an entrapping thunderhead

And you begin to fall,

And it's a long way down
