White to Black

What would it be like to be a white cloud in the blue sky?


You can see everybody but they won’t pay heed to you the way you want them to. They will probably think about how you might or might not block the harsh sun and bring some rain but they will never really wonder about YOU.


You’re lonely – not because there aren’t others around you. You’re lonely because of others around you. There are so many things you are bubbling with and you want to share them – but there are few to none people to share them with.


The white cloud – with nothing else to do and brimming with unspent energy - will soon accumulate more and more moisture. It will rumble down and growl. It will turn people away – into their homes and for the lucky ones, to their family and friends.


It will become an angry, static-electricity-filled black thundercloud.
