It's a Three Cloud Day

Just describing an intense feeling I had while driving. I think it was just a bad mix of natural chemicals, or maybe good, I can't decide.

"There's not a cloud in the sky today! Not a single cloud! Go look, not even one! It's beautiful..." - Overheard at a sushi bar



-- No cloud days always make me sad,

Make me think of the desert,

Make me think of dry on dry on solid rock, where nothing grows.

But me.

I grew there, from a child into a tree with long branches.



So happy to see the man was wrong,

This was a three cloud day.

White and puffy like you wouldn't believe.

All today's life, all today's joy floats slowly across blinding blue sky.



On my way out, stomach sick and heart open,

I don't know why today's the day,

I don't know why I feel this way,

But now I'm ready to take on the world.

People say these things but they don't mean it like I do.

Stomach sick and heart open, I'm ready to jump.

I'm ready to run!

I'm ready to go through anything you've got,

To take the plunge,

And I glide.

Today is a day of nothing but...

YES



Back in my nest, quivering and shaken.

But I'm in love.

In love with this feeling,

Even as it leaves me sad and longing.

Who needs drugs when your chemistry does you these favors?

Still my fingers tremble...

I was a god, I was sex, I was everything you've ever wanted rolled into one...

For about three hours.

And there's the rub.

Always a rub.

Always an empty.

I am amused... I am amazed.

I'll be your muse,

to be it's slave.



Soft fluffy clouds go by and still I reach as they drive their trail to someone else's mad reveries...
