Aloft amidst the popcorn clouds,
above the forest's canopy,
I spy a hawk abreast my course,
my only source of company.

I am aware, as it is too,
aloft amidst the popcorn clouds,
that this, our kinship, can't be shared
with those amongst the earthbound crowds.

Allotted only brief reprieve
from worldly cares and problems' mire,
aloft amidst the popcorn clouds
my time to sail will soon expire.

I wish I could this creature be
who soars the heavens swift and proud,
as I absorb each moment left,
aloft amidst the popcorn clouds.
