Like the Unfolding of a Flower

a storm to move mountains by Brook Shaden click here

I am the daughter of Earth and Water,
And the nursling of the Sky;
I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores;
I change, but I cannot die....
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Cloud"

Like the changes we face in life, clouds can represent the passions of the heart.  They can be soft to the eyes on a peaceful day, and then full of darkness and bolts of lightning in a thunderstorm.
Life is full of changes like the sky can be filled with clouds; each one unique and ever evolving into something more.



Clouds evolve like the unfolding of a flower

from a bud into a full bloom

and so do our hopes and passions in life

they spark within and then evolve into view

 

 like the vapors that make up the clouds

these hopes and cares we hold dear stay alive

 

this magnificent move from sea to air

is part of the growth of what makes us truly thrive.
