Visiting the Swiss Alps in cloudy weather evinced some poetry in good old wet ink: photo of original here. I give you 'Curtains of Nature' from Celerina, Graubünden.
Peace, Oh traveller
Grudge not the weather
Fear not the clouds
As the curtains of nature
For even if you
Were not to revel
In their own tapestry
They let you focus
On the beauty of that
Which is visible
Each of your pictures
Is a half in colour
A half in grey scale
Showin' you the contrasts
That make your life
And as the curtains
Swirl with the wind
And change their forms
Play with the light
And change their colors
They keep unravelling
Latent layers of allure
Fear not the cold and dampness
For you often have the gear
To lessen the disquiet
Let nature be, just let her be
