Cloud!

Cloud

White, puffy, soft and cold

My thoughts wander high up above

Hiding the light behind their back

Casting the shadow on the world below

Shedding a tear for the ones here

They fly high in the sky above

Dreams sweet of an elegant nature

Hopes high for that pot of gold

Ripe harvests for seasons to come

Are those clouds high up above

A father’s love, a mother’s care

Thoughts many beyond my philosophy

Are all what they are, the clouds

Floating in the sky, high up above

Yielding lightning, the bravest sword

And thunder, the mighty shield

A knight, so magnificently attired

Guards humanity and us, the mortals

White soft gown, grazing the sky

Slow steps of a sweet shy bride

A cloud, she moved to her eternal groom

Who kissed her a promise, a whole life new

A little cherub on a cloud weaves a tune

Alas! Unheard by our ears deafened

By the hues and cries of our pros and cons

Sadly we miss that tune of life

That cloud looked at the world below

Where it dwelt a lifetime ago

“Oh! Earth “, it cried, from above

“How strange thy art, far below”

By Tess

A second chance

A second chance
As I went walking through a forest,

I saw a waterfall, enchanting and wild.

Oh I loved that flowing water,

Oh I wanted to dive deep inside.



I was hoping to unfold a mystery,

To see the world from other side,

Scary though it seemed at first,

But I had made up my mind for the ride.



I closed my eyes, said a silent prayer,

Lifted my feet from the ground into air.

As I fell down with the water,

I could feel the wind play with my hair.



I went to the land of seas,

Those mermaids, the fishes, the pearls white,

I then wished to stay there forever,

I kept admiring this world all night.



I got up the next day, on the sea bed,

Oh I longed for air, I lost my breath in the sea,

I wanted to shout for help,

But there was none to hear me.



Suddenly a hand came down from above,

Took my hand in his hands and took me along,

He brought me back to my world which I left,

But that was the place where I belong!



I was not walking through the forest,-I was walking through life,

I had grief in my heart, n I began to wonder…

Will I get something better if I take the plunge?

Oh I wish to that thought I did not surrender.



I jumped down,

and for one day the world seemed fine,

But the world I had entered,

Didn’t just seem to be mine.



I didn’t lose my breath in the sea-

I missed the one I love,

Then I prayed he’ll come back for me,

To take me back above.





So just when things go wrong once,

Don’t jump into that alluring waterfall,

It might seem beautiful at first,

But its not worth you even with its pearls n all.



If life has blessed you with a heart that loves you,

Don’t lose it because of a simple mistake.

Instead, nurture it with understanding and trust,

So just give another chance for love’s sake.



So go back now, and make up with them,

give them just another chance to show,

love is not about all good moments,

it can also sometimes face the times low.



“If I am ever not the man who I am now-

Its only you who can bring me back” once said he….

Today I just want one chance for us,

You once said I am your angel,

And today I promise I will be ..Ash
