A Cloud's Cry

I try to impress you Humans in many sizes and shapes,

Like I impressed your ancestors, who looked like apes.

Look at me Humans with awe,

I am nothing like what you ever saw.

And wonder at my beauty,

As if you have no duty.

I come sometimes a doll,

Sometimes a ball,

Rarely a lady,

But often a teddy.

But you ignore me; I feel pity for your kind.

Oh yes, I remember, you are 'virtually blind'.

When I look down, I see everyone in a hurry,

But no one is on time,

Standstill, don't scurry,

And just look at my mime.

So water, water on the ground,

What's the most beautiful thing Man has found?

So tell it loud; yes, it's me, the cloud!
