Leaving Footprints In A Cloud

Having a good day

Leaving Footprints In A Cloud-

I took a cloud home today
elevated, suspended, surreal
It's not often the elevator drops me
at the penthouse

A pugilist frequently beating myself
senseless in the basement
Nursing self inflicted wounds

Emotions an erratic kaleidoscope changing
But for now an elated skyscraper
Prominent architects stabilized a teetering frame
Reinforcing a fragile ego

An alter ego erect
Inflated
No longer able to get through
a tiny door frame

Diminished confidence replaced
In tact, in fact
Propped atop a balcony
Where the view is phenomenal

I bask in my own sunshine
Highlighting a resurrected skyline
