Dark Cloud

A dark cloud.
It rolls in.
Rolls in with intensity.
This cloud is one with much more density.
This dark cloud.
It has intent;
Intent to cause havoc.
This cloud will pick up a hammock.
Buckle down.
Look up,
Look down,
Look all around.
How bad is the storm?
What has it done?
Go outside and check.
This storm was certainly a big one.
But everything is okay.
But everyone is okay.
It started as a dark cloud;
And ended as a light show.

A storm

A storm;
A buildup of the sky's anger;
Let out in a day at a time.

Lightning;
A flash;
Static electricity built up from anger;
Anger that comes from the sky.

Thunder;
Rumble;
Rumble and tumble over the land;
After the flash;
Releases the anger from the sky.


Is this a story about a storm? In the eyes of some it is. But others will see the real world connection to anger and how the release of all of the buildup from the sky is followed by the relaxation of thunder. A thunderstorm is a metaphor for life. We all have times of anger, frustration, strife, annoyment; but what we need to do is relax just like the thunder does.
