My Rendezvous with Clouds

I had a date with kaleidoscopic rainbow hues of sky

Azure teasing blue blending with white clouds, turquoise looked shy

Fluffy flamboyant, fluttering, flapping- pleasing to the eye

Sapphire  chariot of clouds like butterfly  in the amorous  bosom  of sky

Myriad shapes clouds assume; marvel of nature they are

Earth in elation embracing horizon crossing all bars

Beautiful clouds play hide and seek with beloved moon and stars

Enticing a lover to sing and dance with the beloved and go far

My vagrant thoughts like clouds in the sky drift over peaks and valleys

Float freely over brooks & oceans, rivulets aiguille and alleys

In my mellowing years, I feel clouds cobalt scouring and skimming

The milky pearls bless surreal land with pristine shower shimmering

When dark clouds fill the teal skies, lightning  strikes the mind, be cloud like calm

The epiphany comes that in life we must remain poised in the face of storm
