A JOURNEY MEANT FOR CLOUDS ....................It's up to you to decide...........

Post by religare231 » Wed Jul 18, 2012 10:02 am

waking up one fine day hoping to catch a new breath of life
i see the crimson lights flashing in my face,
the flowers that bloom fill my heart with happiness,
there's nothing more that i need to satisfy my desires

i wonder why this lifeless clouds hover about me
are they a sign of the things to come, i shall never know
for i am here all by myself hoping to find someone to show me the way to my heart

i can feel you in my dreams, i live in your thoughts all the time
it's amazing how this breeze takes me back into your soul
i can be anything you want, be it a person or a thing you adore
i always stay by your side, like a shadow
protecting you from these gleams that block your way
some people call me the devilish dwarf because of my nature
but who am i, that's something only you can decide
you are my guide and i just follow the path that has been laid before me

Poets come and poets go,
Just as the clouds too : white, grey, crimson, purple, some nearly black...!

ALL must have a silvery lining, but only the latter last showeth...!

Clouds have no messages (sorry Kalidas! Though loved your Megh-doot!) ;-)

It is the eye that beholdeth you and thy message...!

While cloud-watching is a wonderful pastime...

Waiting patiently for the starry-sky beyond them holdeth the KEY!

Once poet Kalidas revives, Jyotishi Kalidas sees!

(I dedicate the above poem to the creator of Uttarakalamrita!). Two different Kalidas_es!! ;-)

Love, Light, Limmericks!

The other 'ribbing' aside, Religare...,
Your sharing (beautiful and heart-warming...) reminded me of something I wrote nearly 18 years ago, interestingly when you were 2 or 3 years old...! :-)

-------   -----------  ----------

A darkened room on this cold winter day.
I look through the window, so bright so clear.
The tiniest of glimmer I barely begin to see
a speck of water gelling into a crystal of ice.
Uncommitted, undetermined, sans any goal it seems
as it hangs about for its friends to arrive...
ordinary, ugly, tiny blobs of frozen moisture
with no plans in mind yet everything falling into place
just as nature ordained;
they comply to the physics of chemistry.
Time passes by; suddenly I see –
meaningless blobs of frozen droplets no more
my eyes widen in wonderment as I awaken to ...
The beautiful heavenly snowflake !

How curious it can be...! :-)

You wrote that poem (beautiful and soulful) when you were waiting and ended up in chemicals and fertilizers! At half my age when I wrote mine, when pesticides came first and then the chemical sector!

Anyways, congratulations and may your journey be as wonderful and interesting as mine turned out to be! You begin a new job, I finish mine in similar sector and turn the page, the last page of the book!

Is the next book a new book or sequela (like Rambo II) of the former? Seeds planted in the last book that sprout into the story beyond!

Poets have good recall and often almost photographic! If you have that faculty, cherish and nourish it always, no matter what!

It shall keep you in good stead! I am very happy for you!

Love and Light!
