The clouds spoke to me today,
they did; it's true.
They said; clouds,
cumulus, grey, cream,
changing, reflecting, light,
free.
The clouds spoke to me today,
and that is what they said.

You spoke to me today,
You did; it's true.
You said; man,
father, husband, lover,
good, bad, complicated,
bound.
You spoke to me today,
and that is what you said.

I listened to the clouds today,
I listen everyday,
I do; it's true.
I hope that tomorrow
you will talk to me that way.
And that is what I said,
when I listened to the clouds today,
and heard what they had said.
