Wandering Clouds

NOTE : I have missed my PS friends quite a lot,
while I was away from PS, due to various reasons,
but writing today something is giving me lot of pleasure.

Wandering Clouds


Time never stops for any one, O’ beloved,
It comes and goes like the wandering clouds,
Never stopping for more than few moments. 


Without caring ever for the charms of anything,  
It goes away from our hands, as the sands slips away.


Even pleasure hardly stops for few moments, 
After reaching the prime of its youth and peak,
No one can hold the beautiful moments for ever,  
As it too comes and goes like the wandering clouds.


Leaving only the fragrance of its presence for ever,
On the horizons of our minds and heart, O’ beloved.


But pain always stays with us, more than the pleasure,
Being the true companion of every suffering human,
It stays to make us more bold and beautiful, and 
Capable to face the lofty pleasures.
