Just Like The Clouds

The clouds spill a thousand secrets
For they are nature's work of art
That gather at the proper time
As light or dark, they stir the heart

For even as they move, they morph
Into such varied shapes and forms
Express calm bliss on sunny days
Yet clash with thunder in dark storms

With personalities they shift
From cotton-white against blue sky
To darker tones of dreary grays
And we accept their reason why

Just like the clouds, our spirits change
From ashen gloom to brighter phase
The secret is in knowing that
For sure the Sun will spread its rays
