Is this message of promise that it is going to chuck it down? (rain)
I like how you describe the clouds as soft smoky paint, awesome.
Dressing yourself with journey makes absolutely no sense what so ever yet works!!
I find it interesting that you mention river borne canoes, yet searching for the moon gives the impression of night. Is this the start of the cycle from day to night, Is this where the clouds go at night?
Interesting little read.
