Dunes

How many clichés can there be in one short poem? LOL!

You see that cloud up there?
There's a poem carved in it
But if it only looks like air
That's all there is to it.

Footprints in the snow outside
Will get covered up again
Time passes like a tide
And nothing stays the same.

The dunes of life are built in sand
The wind will blow away.
When life won't go as planned
We've only got today.

A memory was true back then,
Then time turns it to a lie
It may be true again,
But only if we try.
