To Touch a Cloud No desire to meet one so, because in the mind we truly know; to touch ‘twould be an icy shock. Let it linger that soft touch, in the mind and nothing but. © Sarah Gathergood

Shadow Cloud I cast a shadow on this earth, a passing cloud then gone, Phasing in, then out, then in, full in strength, then fading dim, a unique part of one. © Kevin Bole
