Samanyan Lakshminarayanan - # # A PASSING CLOUD

a deep blue sky
a careless streak
of cloud there
careless yet a perfect stroke
a moving swarm of clouds after
no...no not a cotton ball
yeah..you have read enough of that all
it is an indian kitchen scene
the milk in the vessel..when boiled
fumes and foams with life
an auspicious sign of prosperity

the moving clouds enacts life
leaves its shadow on the mountains
the patchy shadow moves on with the clouds
moves on....on and...on
showing life
the streak of cloud permanent there
seen after the moving clouds pass by them
all this....tells me
this lovely scene
that nothing will be same
THANK GOD

Samanyan Lakshminarayanan
