I Hate Them

I hate gray clouds. Aren’t clouds supposed to symbolize a happy place, like in movies where people “float and soar into and about the clouds” because their lover is returning to them? But what about the clouds that are gray? What is that supposed to symbolize?

But maybe clouds are God’s mood ring, and the sea ripples and bends away from the areas where He walks.

And what if someone dies today? It wouldn’t be a pleasant thought for their loved ones to imagine that person floating up into heaven in peace, because heaven seems to be blocked by gray clouds.

Although, rain comes from some clouds, which could spark joy in some desperate farmers; but what about the clouds that don’t have any droplets in them? Mockery clouds, that’s what they are. Isn’t that horrible? I hate gray clouds.
