The Cloud and the Cage
Once I fell in love
With a bird-shaped cloud
"Please, wait for a moment!"
I shouted to it loud.
I ran for home
And ran back with the cage
But, 'Alas!' - I screamed
In a sorrowful rage.
To catch the cloud,
The desire I bore,
Vanished in a moment
As there wasn't that cloud anymore.
