The sky wears a veil, thick and still,

as clouds wrap the world in a gentle chill.

They are the keepers of endless thoughts;

Carrying dreams that time forgot.

Darkened heavens, heavy with grace,

they paint shadows across earth's face.

Though they may seem burdened and grey,

they bear the promise of a brighter day.

Through their haze, the world turns slow,

A softened light, a whispered glow.

Clouds remind us to pause, to breathe,

to let go of what we cannot seize.
