Poem Excerpt

I spy a cloud go floating by
Where do you go, Cloud, so high?
To the sea
She sings
Where the wild gulls fly
Then catch me if you can
I cry
We race each other to the sea
Can't catch me, Cloud
Can't catch me

A boy and a dog follow a cloud out to sea, but as the weather worsens he relies on the whales and waves to bear him home.
