Clouds

I find myself often looking into the sky
Staring at the clouds
Slowly passing us by
One day clouds will bring you nothing but blue skies
Letting you believe that its going to be bubble gum
And rainbows filling you with undeniable happiness
Sometimes it stands still
You want it to last forever
However as you gaze into the sky, looking at those same clouds
They drift away
In comes a new set of clouds, dark clouds
They bring rain and cold, draining you of all the good
You felt from the previous clouds
Now you're stuck in the rain with no umbrella
Hoping to get your sunshine clouds back
Silence comes in black
Seems like the rain will never end
You almost forget what the sunshine is
But just like the sunshine clouds you see the rain clouds to move
Slowly they start to move out
You made it past the storm, you survived
You fought through it and came out stronger than ever
And now you are prepared for the next storm
But for now you will cherish the sunshine clouds
That have returned and you have learned
To appreciate whats here now
And just as you have settled with the sunshine clouds
Another storm is brewing
This one is worse than the last
But you are ready to take on the storm
Cause you know it will pass and the sunshine clouds come back


Hmmm funny how clouds reminds me of life
