    *an oldie.... one of ye ancient gems found in storage....

    clouds are dinosaur souls
    looking for a way off earth,
    trying to fulfill interstellar fate.

    they change shape
    because perfection
    is a fluid thing,

    a concept exposed
    from snowflake babies
    falling from their bellies.

    some saw
    their melted bodies
    rise,

    and learned a larger truth:
    they were reincarnations
    seeking cyclic break.

    the wise ones
    fought to form higher
    and finally became awake.

    stars are escaped dinosaur clouds
    that traveled too much
    in outer space;

    that gave up,
    stayed put,
    went to sleep.

    their dreams create fusion
    beacons to others, warning:
    do not come here leave me alone.

    the sleeping giants know
    to gather warps gravity
    which collapses into holes,

    but they’re old, their death,
    for now, is indefinitely postponed,
    so they became fossilized dinosaur bones.

    This is really really wonderful! I adored the concept of the clouds giving birth to snow whichgoes through a whole cycle, only to return to a cloud and be born again.
