Clueless Fog

And just the like that
the cloud
lifted;
and was no more.

It is the nature of clouds,

to shrivel up,
leave,
and disappear.

They aren't meant to last,
but the sky
the sun
the moon
and even the stars
watch as they
take form and try to come back
and stay;
again and again.

Like some people,

they don't realize their own nature--
that they can never remain stable
not even for themselves.
