I Was a Cloud

I was a cloud

I was a cloud looking down

Your frantic waving

Did not provoke feeling

But this little oneSteady your wings now, sparrow

I remembered him

Steady your claws now, sparrowAnd in the dark

From the sea marbled and moon blue

Into the burning eye of the sun

Without feeling

My end was imminentSteady your course now, sparrow

I remembered him

Fear for your home life, sparrow

Fear for your home life
