whisp’ry tendrils reach 

across the twilight sky 

my soul floats to breach 

the clouds within my eye 

pray for thee, my friend, 

but please pray not for me 

this brain itself rends 

a cave so deep, but see 

looking down, you watch 

the network slowly shift 

looking up, blue splotch 

away it slowly drifts 

you asked why, just why 

i am the way i am 

my genes within, they vie 

for conquest o’er the damned 

icy raindrops fall 

down to the land below 

clouds, they form a pall 

o’er precious earth’s chateau 

i’m the damned, you see, 

for i fall to my whim 

even so, say thee, 

my eyes, they aren’t so dim 

sparkling rain drops down 

to bow to nature’s law 

water, so renowned, 

drips quiet, yet withdrawn 

don’t you see?! you say, 

you’ve got that light right here! 

look inside, that ray, 

it twists and turns so clear! 

clouds, they shift along 

and cover all the land 

city life, a song, 

“suburban charm” be damned 

late at night, the stars 

fill out the twilight sky 

late at night, the scars 

may open as you lie 

even high, the clouds, 

they comfort and console 

even god, he bows, 

to fix and sew your soul 

so take comfort, friend, 

the universe is here for you 

clouds can heal and mend 

and make you all brand new
