Wintry Wind twirls in the sky
With a skirt of swirling leaves
Grey-bearded Cloud lumbers beside
Tears falling as he grieves

He mourns the loss of Sunshine’s light
Among his once light step
From his dark path, those rays take flight
With a glorious pirouette

Wind carries his tears to land
Upon dry, barren ground
Parched Ground extends a thankful hand
New life will soon abound

Soon sorrow’s load is lightened
Cloud lifts his weary head
The day begins to brighten
Lady Wind returns to bed

Old Man Cloud, now white as snow
Smiles joyfully back at Sun
Ground flourishes down below
New life has just begun

Rainbow leaps over Cloud’s head
With spectacular flair
From violet all the way to red
Shining heavenly stairs

Cloud does not wear silver clothes
And often turns to dark
So even when Lady Wind blows
Remember Rainbow’s arc

Margherita, thank you so much

So glad you enjoyed it as this style of personifying is relatively new to me

Thanks again so much for your words of encouragement, they are much appreciated
