Behind Every Cloud
As the dragon roared across the sky
It seemed to grow another eye
Hiding from the dragons flame
I could see a lady, head bowed in shame
She lifted her arms as in supplication
Holding them up for the duration
The dragon roared past the lady of shame
Ignoring her plea and let loose his flame
We waited to see if a champion would come
And deal the dragon a blow
If he did would the dragon succumb?
These things we need to know
To the side she fell and rolled away
It was then a dolphin came out to play
It leapt and swam before our eyes
These wondrous shapes that filled our skies
I held my breath spellbound for sure
My little nephew wanting more
He pointed out a cat with no tail
And I saw a racing car growing a sail
The show was over the clouds turned grey
Another shower on our summer day
The stories it told for the morning so grand
As my little nephew held onto my hand
The magic of the clouds above
The ever changing scene they play
So much amused and fascinated us
We will be back to watch another day
