I saw a cloud today in the infinite blue
it lingered for a moment
a fragile wisp
before evaporating
leaving only a negative retinal memory
when I closed my eyes
the only monument to its
ever having existed
How ironic.
That cloud, (when one considers
the system it is a part of)
has done more for humanity
than many of the so-called
'great men' of our time
who are remembered
in lasting ores
inanimate witnesses to their accomplishments
and all the cloud got
was this poem.
