clouds cry

the real reason why it rains

By isthatphillPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

clouds cry

but why?

maybe because they're afraid to fly

or of being up so high?

no one ever seems to stop them when they float by

is it because most people don't like when they crowd the sky

and give the sun an excuse to be shy?

clouds cry

but why?

i finally asked one and it swore not to lie

it whispered "we're afraid to dissipate and die"

...

you see, clouds are no different than you and i

clouds cry

so the ground is never dry

clouds cry

so it's okay to give it a try

...
