The Sky

I laid out on the grass and enjoyed looking up at the blue sky.

But soon a big cloud covered up the sky and the Sun. Things were darker and cooler. I didn’t care for this, but felt the cloud would soon pass.

The cloud stayed. I got upset enough that I shouted up at the cloud, asking it to move along. The cloud said no and that I should move. Of course I stayed. It was a standoff.

Hours passed. Soon it was night. The cloud was still there, now blocking my view of the stars and Moon.

I couldn’t take it and began to cry. The cloud also began to cry as raindrops.

Soon there was no cloud left and I could see the beautiful night sky. But I was so exhausted from the conflict that I fell asleep.
