Clouds

Clouds are not just pearly white
Cottony frills on the blue skyline..
They are sometimes pillows of gray
Beckoning us to walk away
Into the silent belt of the
Apparent separation
Of Earth and Sky..

Clouds are sometimes notes
An artist's colorful quotes
On the canvas of space
Blue, with a delicate white lace.

Clouds are sometimes scarves
Strewn on the heavenly path..
A celebration of color
Pink, yellow, purple
Green and ocher.

Clouds are reminders
that the Dainty Designer
Will one day fold the canvas
Signaling the time for us
To melt into the cosmos

Beautiful....

Clouds form shapes and sizes
some of which go unnoticed by the wisest
It says be free relax and be like me
It says to me "Kid, just let things be"


Fly as far as you want
Fly slower than you can
Leave the beauty it's a taunt
Look for the truth that is hiding between the dusk and the dawn

Good one Deepa!! I like the last bit especially, gives the poem a final mystic, enigmatic feeling.

Hey Deepa,
Loved it-I immediately identified with it because I have been fascinated by clouds. Hence my blog name too. I am visiting your blog after a long time and see so many additions, must take time to read it. Cheers!

"Clouds are reminders
