Volatility
Volatility
Gently floating fluffy clouds Frothy as air, dancing along the wind Long gone A sky thick with blanket of marzipan clouds Suffocating, sucking oxygen from the atmosphere Thunderous claps break the heavy silence Seconds before an electrical charge shoots daggers Across the darkening expanse Penetrating the ground avoiding the electrodes and scorching the earth with its volatility Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Word Prompts Word of the Day - Marzipan RDP - Frothy as Air Stream of Consciousness- ‘Ode’ (in any form we choose)

Surprised to see him when she had opened her eyes. Sunlight shining on his bronzed body. She’d half expected him to have left without a word. She panicked slightly, and pulled on her shirt slipping silently out the door.
She sat studying the clouds.
“There you are” she heard a voice say
She turned. He was walking along the damp sand towards her.
“Why did you leave?” he asked. His voice slightly accented.
“Just looking for familiar objects in these clouds.” she answered without thinking.
“But these clouds are clearly foreign, such an exotic clutter against the blue cloth of the sky”, he said.
“Clouds speak in the universal language”, her voice a little husky. “Don’t you know that?”
