The Nephophile

I glance at the azure sky, wonderstruck by the fluffy, white, cottony clouds. Shapeshifting and drifting, like undisputed monarchs of the kingdom of heaven. Pristine, pure, and luminous, they awaken the hidden bard, in many a guarded being. As I gawk at their glossy sheen,  they suddenly change to coal-black, shedding copious salt-less tears. After the mighty storm abates, While searching for clouds milky-white, I notice a silver lining. Thank you clouds for teaching me, that after every tempest, a glimmer of hope appears.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
