Amongst the Clouds

I went outside tonight feeding the craving for nicotine, a bad habit.. I know. The moon was not covered, unlike a few hours previous. Now, this may seem rather normal to others but something.. caught my eye. The moon sat amongst clouds, again.. normal.. right? As I continued to look up at the sky I noticed the clouds seemed as though they we being drawn to something. The moon illuminating their path, the trees in the horizon covering their destination. Not as though without the trees there, I would be able to see where they went. But, to me I was awestruck.. wondering where they were going. What could it be that was "pulling them in." I looked away from the moon and where they were "heading" only to see the chain continuing. Streams upon streams, just flowing in succession to somewhere.. And I wanted to know where. The light from the moon laying gently on these streams of clouds.. flowing onwards into what would seem as nothingness. I.. wanted to be there. I wanted to be where they all meet, and see what it was that was drawing them in. With consideration of how big this planet is, I know that would probably be unrealistically far from me. But that meant nothing. In that fleeting moment all of these logical thoughts just seemed to wash away, leaving me with this persistent curiosity. Where... is it? Where are they going? What could I find there? Why there? Why not right here, with me? The cigarette came closer, and closer to it's end. My thoughts then ventured a different avenue. What if.. those clouds were not being drawn into something. What if, just maybe.. they were leaving that "place" and attempting to cover us all? Slowly allowing us to bask in some gentle beauty. Because it was beautiful, in my eyes. Maybe whatever "it" was sent all of them out to ease us into sleep? My cigarette has burned out by now, and has been tossed away to take its course.. and expire. These clouds seemed not to move, no wind tonight either. It was calm, and quiet. With me just left "Star Gazing" with.. no stars? Maybe all that was meant to happen was the moon to bring light to this.. and allow us to view it. Allow us to ponder this concept that I had stumbled upon? Maybe.. just maybe.. There is no explanation. No reason at all? We should accept what we deem beautiful when it comes around, with no questions? "Take it for what it is?" But, I can't help but think.. If I didn't think.. and just merely looked up.. would it matter? If I didn't not look deeper inside of it, would it be as beautiful? Or would my thoughts have been embraced by someone else? Then again, for all I know someone else has seen this and felt the same thing I have.

Maybe those clouds were coming from them? Showing me the same thing they can see, or could it be.. I was sending the clouds to them?

Or maybe I am just over thinking this. I should just, perhaps.. take it in for what it is. A sight to be seen.. and from what I have done now..
A story, to be told.
