Cloud as reference point

During a climb, since the nose is pitch up, chances are we will not be able to see the land to select a reference point, but can use clouds as reference point to help to fly straight.

My question is, if the cloud is moving (due to wind), wouldn't this cause you "chase" the cloud, therefore not flying stragith?
