I Was A Cloud - Shearwater

I was a cloud

I was a cloud looking down;

Your frantic waving did not provoke feeling

But this little one-

Steady your wings, now, sparrow

I remembered her-

Steady your course, now, sparrow

And in the dark

From the sea marbled and moon-blue

Into the burning eye of the sun

Without feeling

My end was imminent-

Steady your course now, sparrow

But I remembered him-

Fear for your home life, sparrow

Fear for your home life
