The Lonely Cloud


A lonely cloud once crept in to my room,
“I just want to be where shadows don’t loom,
They befriend my shadow and leave me in the lurch,
While I stand there like the lone candle in a church,
Facing a silent retreat into an oasis of stillness,
I pause to master the art of thoughtlessness.”

A touch of regression in the cloud’s monotone,
I was torn asunder by a spectre so lone,
“Just think of yourself as a for the nonce creation,
To embark on a nonpareil journey of redemption,
You achieve a concinnity of the earth and the heaven,
Intrigue us all and mesmerize without a reason,
Like the lonesome thought-messengers, who rue,
You are the elixir of eternity, the reason for being true …
