In the Rising Clouds

In the rising clouds 

In the rising clouds of mind,
Your image often gets formed
But by the time
The eyes can take the impression  
It hides some where and get lost

The thirsty mind keep searching
That image in every eyelid and heart
In the dark lowering clouds 
Of rainy season
Even amid the branches of trees
In autumn

It's interesting the way the images we see in clouds keep changing. That is the nature of clouds and also the nature of the human mind. Very profound writing, Ravindra. I wrote a poem about changing cloud formations "Behind the Clouds" that has an uplifting message. This is great writing! Love, Carolyn
