Clouds of smoke surround us both
gray
dark
beautiful

when we rise
they part for us
when we sit
they engulf us again

to fear it
is a mistake
but to tranquil in it
is a mistake nonetheless

we watched the clouds for a while
adding more
when they started getting sparse
then left
never to talk again.

Favorite Quote:
To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
