• Cloud candy

  I was a sliver of silver-lined silk in the sky,
  A wisp of a cloud, just floating by.
  I was a teddybear, a rabbit—whatever you could dream,
  The big bit was a dragon and the long bit was the steam, that split the sky asunder like a candy cotton stream.
  That stream flowed into a lake, or was it a giant birthday cake?
  Whatever was your recipe, there was nothing I could not make.
  As time went by, you forgot all you could see,
  Now I’m a just cloud again, craving flights of fancy.
