An Affair With the Clouds: Poem

Standing on my terrace,

I want to embrace,

Those bright clouds,

Always on the move,

Mesmerising and charming,

Wandering and shining,

Inspiring and intriguing,

Moving and changing,

Morning and evening,

Un-ending and floating,

Sailing and hiding,

Alluring and attracting,

Recommended

I often wonder—

Are you the Angel,

Are you the gateway to heaven,

Are you freedom personified,

Are you keeping an eye on everyone,

Where do you begin,

Where is your end,

Yes—You inspire us to move,

And keep on moving in life!!

I love to watch the clouds: The Thoughts Behind The Poem

Watching the moving clouds, is one of my favourite activities. Capturing those amazing shapes, of the moving clouds gives me immense pleasure.
The first picture above is from a moving train, and the second one, from my home terrace.
This is called, ‘being there at the right moment, at the right place.’

Nature is abundantly beautiful, and it’s not possible to capture it in our pictures.
Spending some quiet moments, while watching the movements of the clouds is therapeutic for me.

Not only does it make me wonder, about their beautiful forms and colours, they also inspire me to ‘move on‘ in life.

The clouds convey the message, that nothing is permanent in life, not even our troubles.

nature-you-inspire-me

Nature has always inspired, and motivated me. Not only does it heal, both physically, and emotionally, but also, it can soothe the disturbed mind, like nothing else can. The roaring waves of the Sea, do calm my mind. Nature is therapeutic and the ultimate healer.

the-skill-of-writingpoem

Writing is a creative skill, which can be adopted, honed, and polished. Writing is self expression, and it is therapeutic. Writing may be done as a profession, or as a hobby, or as a passion. ‘Practice makes a man perfect’ applies to the writers as well. The more you write, the better you can write.

the-infinite-blue

Blue, as a colour is vibrant, bright, peaceful, soothing, and distinct. Blue, symbolises infinity, is inspiring and encompasses all. No wonder, the colour of the sky, rivers, and ocean is blue. It is the colour of serenity and sacredness.

the-mysterious-lady-poem

“The mystery of life isn’t a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.”—Frank Herbert. “Uncertainty and mystery are energies of life. Don’t let them scare you unduly, for they keep boredom at bay and spark creativity.”— R.I.Fitzhenry

chances-to-changes-poem

The three important C’s of life are— Choices, Chances, Changes. Don’t miss the Chances, to bring positive changes in your life. Even if you do not succeed, you may learn something worthwhile.

borders-not-meant-for-them

You need many essential documents, if you have to cross the ‘Borders’ of your own country. The same is not applicable to the birds, the clouds, the rivers, the wind, the oceans and so on. How wonderful it would be, if there were no “Borders”!!
