Monday Prompt: clouds kindly provided by @mariannewest

It has been some time since there was a cloud in the sky. Only beautiful blue sky on view with the Sun and the stars.

For some people, it meant that their own home was a picture postcard. No need to long for another town or city.

The question for some is; how long will it last?

The next morning, there were two light white fluffy clouds. Their appearance was a reminder that clouds do exist. But they soon were gone.

However, there was one dark cloud in particular that wanted to make an appearance. He had been resting for too long and now he really wanted to gather his friends and put on a show.

He made the call and soon enough they arrive. Dark clouds gathering in their masses. It was time to create something truly special.

They merged together above the skies. The bright blue was gone, replaced by shades of grey.

Then bang!

Thunder. Lightening. Rain. Perhaps the greatest show of nature. Some will love and some will not. Some may view and some may hide. But you cannot escape the symbolism of power.

When they have finished, it will be time for the clouds to depart. The air they have created feels fresh and the Sun will come out again. The blue skies of hope will too.
