A Cloud's Story

Today, a story was acted in front of a pair of innocent eyes. It was freightning and beautiful at the same time. It was a story of hope and peace. A story of confusion and fear. A story of life told in the heavens. It starts with a girl walking home while looking at the sky.....

As I looked at the sky, I saw the rainclouds glower down at me. They were so high up but somehow they were closing in on me. Almost like they were daring me to confess, that there was no escape. Everywhere I looked, my fear was etched into the clouds. Fear of being in a world where you build your own path not knowing where it will lead you. The dense clouds followed my pace, as if my fears were accompying me on my journey. Yet when I looked behind me, I saw a beautiful blue clear sky. As if all that fear and pain had never existed. It was if it had always been beautiful and clear..with birds delving into the soft white clouds leading to nothing but a happy ending.

It was comforting to look at the sky that beheld no scars, no regrets, no painful memories. Yet the darkness still loomed over me, reminding me that it was far from over, I still had a far walk. As I kept walking on thinking whether I was going to find an army of these black clouds hanging over my house..a glint of colour caught my eye. A rainbow. Halfway into the clear sky and half way into the clouds. A peace offering to all that we have lost and all has occured, and what is still yet to come. I didn't want to wrench my eyes from the dazzaling colours...fearing they would dissapear as soon as I turned my back on them. But as I walked on, the rainbow only became larger and more beautiful with more vibrant colours.

As I reached my house, I realized that our destiny was in the heavens. Our stories, our tears and the colours of our joy constantly with us, reminding us of who we were, and who we've become. After feeling afraid of a darkness that brought unknown dread, realization that maybe what's hidden behind our fears, is our happiness. If we all pushed ourselves to conquer our fear, so we may reach our passions, then it would be as if we blew those blackened clouds into an unseen mist.

We may not have the power to push away clouds, but we have the ability to create the willpower to go through them, to what awaits on the other side. There will be no regret or pain if we know we did all we could to bring about the sun in our own lives or in others. Why fear the unknown, when it may be what you want more than anything in this world....if theres a rainbow behind every raincloud...maybe there's happiness behind every closed door we're too scared to open.
