Clouds

Silvered wisps, 
diaphanous, floating 'neath 
the ether, flying high like 
prophesies from God.                                         

Black forbidding masses
rumbling out their message,
jagged bolts of lightning 
rend the air.

Innocuous or deadly, 
oft they're in disguise;
it would behoove us all 
to heed the skies.
