WHAT I SAW TODAY

In the sky today I was a falling cloud.
Bans of light and dark ran with the horizon.
                The colors were bright.
                The shades were dark.
                                Within the fine lines of clouds
                                A shape fell thru the numerous stripes
                                                A shape connected in three separate parts
                                                Arms and legs reached to catch the sky
                                                                The head was a battle, for the hair and the face fought
                                                                For the head raced down, the hair reached for the sky
                                                                                Where could one fall from to be that high?         
                                                                                While falling would we still reach for the sky?
                                                                                                I viewed the sight with wonder
                                                                                                And was amazed at the beauty
                                                                                                                And wondered at why I saw                       tragedy
