A Suddenly Overcast Sky Poem by Ravi Upadhye

A Suddenly Overcast Sky

Rating: 4.8


A cloudless sky is suddenly overcast
With ominous clouds casting long shadows

A oveflowing lake
Suddenly dries up-leaving the surrounding parched and thirsty

My mind suddenly goes asunder
Fluttering helplessly helter skelter

Your company suddenly vanishes from my horizon
And my steps suddenly retrace the lecherous path

I try in vain to patch my tattered mind
And suddenly tears roll endlessly

While I thought many more years to rejoice
Suddenly old age knocks -
startlingly waking me up from my reverie! ! !

I feel this about the pain of losing someone close to you. What else could be so deep, so great and wide, as mourning?
