Clouds are just
Dreams caught
in the inbetween

Not the Other world
or Hell on Earth
but snagged by stars in between.

As we grow up
our dreams shatter
and this brings plenty of pain,

and because our dreams
are really quite fragile,
it soon begins to rain.

The author's comments:
This article uses a strong metaphor to represent how fragile our dreams can be. Although we may lose a few along the way, there's always another lurking somewhere just beyond our reach.
