Cloud

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

Tuesday, November 27, 2012

I have long wondered,
as I've gazed upon the brittle blue skies
how gently does the wind rock,
those frail white clouds?

And as the sun shine upon
their fluffed up gown,
does it caress with a gentle warm,
or scorch and burn into flames?

And what about the stars that look down
upon them,
they want to touch their innocense,
to rest in that warm softness and breathe calm.

And as she is captured,
that frail white cloud,
can she regain her softness?
Or will she be turned into,
a hard rugged shell?

Wonderful personification of natural events that evoke mental processes related to the personal experience we all have with soft clouds, warm sunshine, gentle breezes and other pleasant experiences of life on Eden.

Once stained, I'm afraid it will be with that par5icular cloud forever / Think hurricanes / That is an attempt the cloud is having trying to throw the stain from itself . . .
