View From The Clouds

Forget the whole 'behind every cloud is a silver lining" thing. Let's face it, the sun is always shining. It doesn't stop shining at night; the world turns its back to it. And you wouldn't have dark clouds if the sun were facing them. Clouds don't have a tailor sew on shiny linings to each of them. No,they're special those linings and if you spot a good one, it stays in your memory for a while.

So what when you have your own clouds to deal with. All that heat getting to you, sucking the life from you and then having to deal with evaporation is no easy task. But then again, when in the air, you see how beautiful it can look. That's just it. Those dark clouds can be protectors. As I type that I see flashes of the Silver Surfer and it makes me smile. There is no Galactus or other aliens to worry about. They don't want our world, not like this. We have our own problems to deal with right here. But snapping back to reality, it would be fair to recognise these clouds as inevitable parts of our being. They're just some more things we have to deal with until we get clear skies. Clear skies don't always mean the sun will shine. Half the time, you have to take in the beauty of the moon and other little suns from afar taking care of their own little handful of planets others call home.

What we see, what we touch and what we imagine are far too limited to perceive what the universe has to offer. Open up. Embrace how tiny we are to the universe, yet how much we can be to some people and how much of a change you can make.
