Clouds

These clouds above my head
Thick, dark, yet weightless
Daily reminders and warnings
that we should always be prepared for the worst
Clouds
You act as an umbrella over the Earth
Shading us from deadly rays
Yet you pour on and dispirit me
 The Sun resigns for a while
and clouds take its place
Oh harsh, scorching, sphere of fire
I wait for your return

Positive take on clouds- I'm the opposite; Addicted to sun-rays, repellent to gray.
