The Banished Cloud in Outer Space

The banished cloud in outer cpace

Traveled at a rapid pace

But it was not its will to go

Where its master told it so

Still it went where there was nothing

Hovering above like future stuffing

Till it cried and cried for ages

Forming waters, each tear’s wages

Then the spirit of the cloud

Went into the liquid, proud

All its salty tears had made

Below the surface, many shapes

Going up, it cried some more

Then went back down to see the score

The shapes began to have symmetry

And soon our oceans came to be

Still the cloud was unimpressed

It missed the old home it knew best

It had its creatures build a floor

To catapult threw surface door

The impact was tremendous waves

Inching forwards with every spray

Soon the ocean floor was broken

Each wave with debris its token

Till a piece of solid land

Formed amid the ocean’s band

Now the waves had a place to rest

And the cloud began to build its nest

Each drop of water made seeds in the ground

Trees were made, an Earth made its first sound

The map of green grew, from small and from great

The grid of one color, on a blue spinning plate

But in spite of its creatures, the cloud felt alone

It realized the trees would make better homes

He taught all his followers how to rise up

To crawl on the land, an eventually stand up

Some, above others, excelled for the better

Till their scaly features became wombs of feathers

So the question remains, what will this cloud become?

Why was it banished, by whom and where from?

Are there a group of dragons, living in the fiery sun?

Was the cloud a mere disguise for this banished one?

Cause even a dragon has wings to fly

It’s surely not the same as just floating on by

So perhaps this shamed dragon, in its new form

Aimed to make its own world, out of its scorn

Instead of fire, it breathed in the air

After first making water its lair

Now it too had wings, but all the control

Anyone made here comes from its soul

Still, a surprise came before it could think-

Two perfect walking images- and It tricked them in a blink
