Your name was just a cloud...

Multiple exposure by Gemma Wiseman ~ to create a wind-blown effect

Carry on Tuesday #29 ~ This week our prompt is the opening lines of a very short poem by Jessica Blade entitled Your Name:
I wrote your name in the sky,
but the wind blew it away.
~

Your name in the sky
I wrote your name in the sky
When our skies were clear
~
You became a cloud
A cloud among many clouds
Heralding showers
~
I became the rain
Refreshing, life-giving rain
Cleansing the spirit
~
New sunlight can blind
What was may be no longer
Blindness visible
~
Your name in the sky
But the wind blew clouds away
Eternal somewhere
~
