Among the Clouds

At times there were many in sight
Other times not even a single one.
Some looked strong and bold
While others looked frail and thin.

Like towers they reached up
Clustered together like islands.
They floated upon a glass like surface
Casting shadows underneath them.

Although the sun cast its rays
The air remained frigid around them.
However I could not remain here long,
The world underneath beckoned.

I cast a wistful gaze out the window
And bid the clouds farewell.

I ended up writing this when I was on the plane. I got bored so I took out a piece of paper and just wrote it down as I looked out the window. I knew it was cold because people announced the outside temperature on the speakers and stuff.
