White Clouds Poem by Naseer Ahmed Nasir
White Clouds
White clouds
Morphing wonderfully
Watch those bears
Changing into
Rows of elephants
Shaping like
A frail old man standing
Rearranging into children
Playing with balloons.
White clouds
Sway on cradle of the wind
Occasionally shrivel
With toil and sadness
At times inflate
With joy and gladness
Never forget
Heaven nor earth
They lie pendent
Between the two worlds.
White clouds
Strolling since eternity
Telling strange fables
Of grand olden dwellings
With a world of ancient souls
When there was nothing, but
A fluid of light,
A landscape of mist
And a suspended caravan
Of several ages.
White clouds, now
Moulding into sombre faces, become
Storms sulking on the horizon.
Thousands of maladies thrive
Above and underneath the land.
White clouds
Course through hearts,
Surging in
The plasma flow of vessels.
(1990, Translated by Sameer Ahmed, Translation reviewed by Lillian Thomas)
soft poem give u a space to swim and dream with this white clouds i loved the peaceful resting bed and your descriptive poem give relieve and shows a deep believe i am now relaxed on this snowy clouds your poems give us pleasure and time to imagine thank you chum
You have chosen a most evocative subject for this poem and treated it with grace and a lively and imaginative pen. I particularly enjoyed 'sway on cradle of the wind' and 'strolling since eternity'. There is great ease and lightness in your phrasing. Beautiful poem. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
This one is really poetic.The repetition of title had given lot of life to this lines. Very beautiful, for me the ending four lines made this much more brilliant. Good craft.
.........wonderful poem....a summer's day with blue sky and white clouds is super nice ★
This brings back memories of cloud wathcing when i was a child; seeing them change to many different images. Thanks.
Bursting with a beauty that is both real and refreshing. Excellently expressed my friend.
After reading this lovely poem, I've never seen white clouds as themselves. You have changed the whole perspective of white clouds with your wonderful words. Good work!
