Somewhere up there ....beyond the blue expanse , Beyond the clouds .....I have my hopes tucked in Often wondered at their versatility,grace and spender Utterly beautiful ,soft and tender Like smoky cotton ball ,blown to smithereens Beautiful cloud in layers unseen . Tiny droplets dance and jump in ecstasy ,I watch in awe our galaxy These round pearls in eagerness ...to spill its bounty The flowers bloom to the heavenly sprinkle The cool breeze whizz past me ,I sense a comforting chill ! I see my hope nestled beyond the clouds- cradled in , My heart aches to see ...so desolate .. A lone cloud amidst the myriad hues of evening sky Lo and behold ! suddenly there is a surge Thunder and lightening on urge ,carry the misty cloud in a whiff Sun rays draw a silver lining ...a master stroke of a maestro My hopes cascading down spread an alluring aura.... I stand drenched to the core ! In that alluring haze ,my dreams ...through the night veil Beyond the clouds ....choose to smile . Copyright(C)Bhargavi Ravindra......18/9/2020
