Gray Clouds
Sometimes, I feel like a gray cloud
On the verge of such a terrible storm that will hurt and whisk away everyone, I care about.
So violent, ill-tempered, and really scared.
I roar thunderously. strike you with lightning, scarring and burning you
And I am sorry.
Those that pass through me are drenched with the same worries as I
And it's not as if you can hold me
Because I am not entirely there
You see me and perceive me
But to feel me, I wouldn't ask that of anyone
Even so,
Storms pass as storms do
I've no right to be optimistic about most things
But I am, nonetheless.
I am a grey cloud now,
But let me storm
Let me rain
And if you can dance in my rain,
then one day
You might end up seeing my rain come into the roots of your favorite flowers,
or trees
And then,
when it is time for you to take to the sky and storm on me
I will gladly dance with you
And become drenched
Because clothes dry
And
Because sometimes
The grass is greener not when and where you water it,
It is when and where you decide to start dancing in the rain itself
