Playful Clouds
It’s time
Clouds ought to put forth
Their white sail
Smile indulgingly
At the Kans grass
Be happy
Seeing their pretty faces
On the placid sheets of water
Where honey talks are going on
Between the blue lotus and the
bee
And look at the glistening fronds
Swaying gently and beckoning
The festive days
But the naughty clouds
Won’t listen to you
Putting on black garbs
They’ll pass time
In nightly carousal
And if you are alone like me
Waiting for the loved ones
To return home safely
Then you are their chosen victim
They will break into your house
Turn everything topsy-turvy
And make you dance
All the while they are in
Their play is our ordeal
Will they ever know that?

ReplyDeleteAh, seeing those playful clouds swaying and beckoning cannot help but make a person happy & even dance! (Smiles) And I don't think we will ever know what clouds know!
ReplyDeletethe clouds come in all forms....some playful...some to obscure....i would rather the playful anyday...smiles.
ReplyDeleteClouds can be playful or frightening. Often your perception depends on where you are and what you are doing.

I had to rebuke them Gillena..they entered my house and flooded...now we are okay of course :)
