Chasing Clouds 💗
Do you remember lying on the grass when you were younger, looking up at the clouds and imagining all the different shapes you could see?
I know I do! 😊
Faces, animals, strange creatures and sometimes things that didn’t look like anything at all! 😅
It’s funny how, as children, we could spend ages doing something so simple and yet feel completely happy.
But somewhere along the way, life gets busy. There are always things to do, places to be and something else demanding our time.
And sometimes I think we forget just how wonderful it can be to do absolutely nothing.
Especially when we’re sharing those little moments with someone we love.
“Chasing Clouds” is a poem about slowing down, enjoying the simple things in life and making memories with someone special.
Because perhaps some of our most beautiful memories aren’t made when we’re doing something extraordinary…
But when we’re doing nothing at all. 🤍
Chasing Clouds
Come, lie beside me
beneath the endless blue,
where heaven opens softly
and clouds drift by
like pale, unspoken dreams.
We will watch them change—
from faces
into places,
from forgotten afternoons
into people
we once loved.
For a moment,
the sky will hold
everything we have lost,
and everything
we are still hoping
to become.
Come, lie beside me.
Let the world continue
in all its hurried noise—
chasing hours,
counting minutes,
always reaching
for somewhere else.
We will remain here,
beneath the quiet sky,
with nothing to prove
and nowhere we need to be.
Just you.
Just me.
Just clouds unfolding
above us.
And perhaps
years from now,
when this day has become
another distant shape
inside our memories,
we will still remember
how the whole world
seemed to drift away,
while we lay together
and
discovered
the freedom
of being still.
