Both Sides Now

Bows and flows of angel hair
and ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere,
I've looked at cloud that way.
*
But now they only block the sun,
they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things i would have done
but clouds got in my way.
*
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down,
and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.

~Joni Mitchell

Clouds

"From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things, and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all."

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
