Both Sides Now

Tonight I had every intention of laying on my house, letting the storm come and go, and sleeping. I was restless though and as the storm passed and the sun came back out, the clouds almost started mocking me. They taunted me to the point I could no longer sit idle and I grabbed the gear and hit the road. I didn’t go far out of town but it was far enough and the show did not disappoint.  The thing is, I will always miss stuff, I cant get it all, its impossible. But sometimes the urge to shoot is so strong I feel like I’d be letting everyone down if I don’t at least try….

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all

Both Sides, Now
