Vapours in Azure

Vapours appear, as if by magic
On the blue canvas of the sky
Creating curious shapes
Or, is it a trick of the eye?
Cauliflower clouds accumulate
Into a mountainous size;
Mushrooms too, seem to sprout
Right before my very eyes.
Then, it’s a little white rabbit
With thin, pointy ears
And a mouse with whiskers
Shapes, and slowly appears.
Soon, a whole menagerie
Of animals come into view;
An elephant and a seagull
And even a kangaroo!
My, what an impressive
Vaporous display;
Much too good to ignore
At the end of the day
As it’s then that these scenes
Appear at their very best
When the setting sun splits rays
And I feel my heart won’t rest
As it beats excitedly at
These pleasing pictures to view;
No artist could capture completely
A painting as lifelike, as true.
So, when you look up at clouds
And wish that they weren’t there
Consider that these vapours in azure
Floating quietly in the air
Gently pour life-sustaining rain
Onto the thirsty earth
And thus, each cloud is actually
Of an invaluable worth.
