Clouds
The clouds crashed into the mountain
and splashed to the top
…little wisps of puff escaping
while the remainder spilled back down the mountainside
…like icing
on its way it caressed the trees
and rolled over mint covered chocolate hills
as it continued forth, it engulfed my van
I took a taste of the effervescent ice crystals
…it brightened my day
…and I merrily went my way
