I Really Don’t Know Clouds…

Sincerely, May

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now, from up and down and still somehow, it’s cloud illusion I recall, I really don’t know clouds’ — Joni Mitchell, Both Sides Now.

Almost everytime i’m going through a sense of dread, I think about the artists that share the same astrological sign as me, and this lyrics from Joni Mitchell popped in my head. See, whoever you are reading this I wish i could give you advice on clouds, but honestly, i don’t know clouds.

I would say I experience clouds. It is too big and dreamy at times that i cannot put a sense to it but simply feel it. But you know that is to easy, my brain cannot comprehend, hence the sense of dread. And clouds they come again and i love it, in its mysterious ways. Clouds, they come again with thunder and rain and they ‘block the sun’, yet still i know the sun will be back again.

I am angry at clouds and frustrated. But clouds has its reason. If it is gloomy and not letting the sunshine in, cloud probably need some time. Cloud makes makes me calm and safe when it can. Clouds give me peace and warm when it should. And i don’t fear its tumble cause like me it is mercurial and ‘libre’. For Clouds has the right to be free and change as it please. Cause when cloud is ready to give, it knows i’ll be waiting.

P.s Listen to the song, maybe you will see clouds from both sides now.

Sincerely,

May.
