Clouds Ahead!

Clouds beckon me
to a world beyond.
On warm days
their presence entices me,
assuring me of a cool day ahead.

Black or white,
I discriminate not
enjoying the warmth
of a sky laden with clouds
forming figures of imagination
or bursting into relieving showers!

sometimes the clouds are a welcoming sight.  around here we wish for blue skies and sunshine for we see so much cold rainy days.  I guess an extreme one way or another is uncomfortable. 

so for you my friend, I wish for more clouds and cooler days  :)

beautiful write!

Dear Hope,


Thanks so much. Actually, we did have showers yesterday, so your wish for me did come true. But then, it seemed like the Almighty wanted to grant Hope's wish for Shail:) 

And yes, for you I wish sunshine!

Thanks Jyoti. I know, in India in most places rain is being prayed for...

Great Shail. Clouds make me feel wistful too. You should come down to where I live. Lots of clouds here in Dehradun!
