I See Clouds

I was driving home today and I watched the clouds which seemed to move away.

But they were not moving away for I was driving under them them on the cool autumn day.

Yet it looked like they were running from me and my car.

It was as if they actually thought I could go where they are.

They were floating high in the heavens above

Protected by God and his almighty love.

Yet they seemed as if they thought they were being chased

As they floated above with a beauty too glorious to be erased.

I found myself calling to them to stay and paint the sky.

It was a beautiful picture resembling the breath of God given with a sigh.

They mingled with each other and stood apart from the blue stratosphere.

So fluffy and full like cotton candy but floating away as if in fear.

Eventually I drove under these beautiful pieces of God’s creation.

The clouds grew darker and sky relented its color of blue as if in agitation.

And as I drove on the sky was now gray for I had driven under the clouds, then.

Autumn is like that.  The weather changes so quickly and I watched as the wind

Blew across the land and caressed the trees causing them to wave to the sky.

The leaves were blowing from the trees, glancing across my windshield as they flew by.

The day that started cloudy had become clear and bright

And then just as suddenly took on the essence of night.

Autumn is like that.  It is a time of constant change of the atmosphere

It prepares the way for winter when we celebrate holidays with those we hold dear.
