The little cloud that cried

7/7/2014

Picture

He certainly wasn't popular

with the other clouds

in the sky

as the little grey cloud

had a predispostion

to cry.

The other clouds were soft

and pillowly

and covered in white

and it left the little grey cloud

feeling

a bit uptight.

He kept to himself

and on sunny days

he hid

for it was an inferiority complex

in which

he slid.

The other clouds called him a baby

and a precipitation

of pain

as their days

would be spoiled

by his constant rain.

If a social pariah and loser

was his lot

in life

how could he overcome

his anxiety

and ease his strife?

Luckily,

Mother Nature

must have a balance too

where equal amounts

of rain

were overdue.

The little grey cloud

had a reason

to cry

or else the crops

and the flowers

would all just die.

The sun would come back

to do

his thing

and the harmony

allowed the green grass of summer

to openly sing.

So please cheer up

little cloud

of grey.

For you are

most beautiful

in your own way.

It's important

that you exist

and prove your worth

to keep

everything growing

on planet earth.

Oh Yeah!! I'm looking for that little grey cloud these days! I love him, actually a big one would be wonderful, and my veggie plants would be ecstatic. We all need you, little grey cloud! Except of course, Manitoba. You're not needed there. . . or Saskatchwan, they could do without you at the moment too. . . Gotta learn to cry appropriately!
Very sweet, Epi. Your child-like side shines through.

Yes Vicki - how true about the weather report(s) in Western Canada - it's either feast or feminine for so many including the farmers - and thank you for seeing the inner child in me and you have inspired me to write another one on my walk which will happen after my coffee is done here and the cd of Bach arias reaches its final track. Thank you for dropping by and always making my day a happy one indeed

That little gray cloud has been dumping on Florida every day for weeks. But I'm not complaining. He's just doing his job!

Good morning Shauna from Colin on this Monday and sending good vibrations to you and your son and wishing for you a nice balance of rain and sun - it rained very heavily here yesterday in the morning and again at night - no doubt because of the humidity and the air seems much fresher today ...... thank you for your loyal and much anticipated visits my friend

The little gray cloud came to visit last night, i've been picking up limbs all morning from the wind the little cloud brought with him. What would we do without rain? I love your little cloud. Sweet!

Yes I know what you mean by the feast and famine of the weather - either it's not enough rain or way too much rain - thank you for gracing my page once again my Angelia of Awesome and as I always do, thank you for making this 'dream' come true.

Not familiar with this song title, Maria, which is a testament to your wonderful knowledge , love and passion for music of all kinds - I am thanking you though for keeping me on my toes, lol, and of course your lovely loyal visits too. Keep a song in your heart, as Lawrence Welk used to say when signing off on his tv show
