Why doest thou floating cloud taunt me?
Floating, floating on the breeze,
If not but what seems a finger tip away,
Yet not a grasp can I maret.

Does so the dove, cooing up on high,
Its bold feathers a flapping.
It too now taunts me,
I ponder: Why must this be so?

Till I could no longer endure,
A leave caressed into the wind, biding adu,
And fell back to earth,
It to forever shackled.

Why can we not too, fly?
O Why, O why?

I love it!! There are a few spelling mistakes but that doesn't really matter because the sonnet itself is so powerful and beautiful!! Bravo!!

Reality may get in our way, but for the pore soul in this poem, he accepts it. There is a certain balance to life, ignoring some rules, while still keeping yourself afloat in life.
