Nephomancy

[Nephomancy from the Greek for “cloud” and “divination”]

Clouds skimming across blue skies

Drifting as they metamorphose

Into symbols that prophecise the future

Giving warning of what may be

Or even reassurance that all is not lost

Across the heavens they skate

With their intimation of mystery

Only ceasing to divulge their secrets

When they are no more
