Clouds At Day And Night Poem by Rajagopalan Kumar

Behold the soft silky white clouds sailing at lofty height
Changing shapes and patterns, a delight to the sight
Brushed asides by palms, dancing to the music of the tides
Now and then, shield the earth from the scorching heat
An occasional gentle wind giving a Weather treat
Blessed few with a silver lining amidst the sunset hue
Like some dainty fairies flying in silky white and blue.


The sunlit twilight dies with the moonlight rise
Over the roaring sea, dread ghostly dark shapes
Shadows of clouds, spread over white waves
Into the moonlit sky, silky black beauties arise
Strain the dew from their dark mantle in to rain
Manna from heaven to the parched earth terrain.
