Chapter 12 - The Cloud's Gentle Promise

The cloud turns to different shapes even in the clearest sky

It comes together slowly

along the colorful horizon.

If it's too hot,

let me cover you and give you a cold breeze.

If it's too cold,

let me move my fluffy, unrounded shape

to lift you aloft.

Let the sun give you consolation

from my gentle, undangerous side.

The white turns gray

even in the dimmed angle of light

before the tears of the sky.

The gray turns red, orange, and pink

in the beautiful sunset.

The red, orange, and pink turn yellow or golden

midway between day and night.

The yellow or golden turns purple

in the sun at its lowest.

If it's too dark,

let me stay here with you in the shadows

and give you a glimpse of light.

If it's too resplendent,

I might disappear —

but I'm still here in the present.
