The Silent Clouds

Please stay let me look on
Handicraft of the sun
White tilts and the blue curves
Silver mingling with gold

In your silent round cups
Brimming with the moisture
Message of the fountains
Infusion in the pen

Please stay silent as you
are now, in your pink mood
Do play with the soft beams
Give birth to the poetry

Short-lived are hanging grapes 
As long as they're silent
Slight hustle and bustle
Rob them of the wine cups

Stay silent and let me
satiate my windows
Then when you get too warm
Come down in the pink rains

Thank you for sharing. I have not looked at the real clouds up in the sky for a long time. But I promise myself to do so today. No clouds in the South African winter sky today, but they must be somewhere. In your poetry for example...
