While Watching the Dark Clouds

While Watching the Dark Clouds

While watching the sky and its amazing dark clouds,
I was lost for a while in the diffusing Sunlight,
Coming from behind the engulfed Sun,
Penetrating it somewhere, without much success,
However, silently the Sun kept on trying and moving,
In spite of all the dark clouds,
Hovering all around it and were trying to fear the Sun, 
By their shapes and dark sings.

But the clouds could not block the movements of the Sun,
And its life giving light for more than 
Few moments.
It assured me once again in my faith,
That darkness can never be a 
A permanent fate.
Sooner or later the light brings alive the life, 
Even if, it is in extreme darkness.
Ravindra

I love clouds in all their wonderful forms Ravindra, Your poem speaks so beautifully of them and then you give a deeper message within that fulfils the depth of this great verse. "That darkness can never be a permanent fate" is such a wonderful line. Thanks for sharing! :)

Light in paint is the abscence of all color in light it is the prescense of all colors ;)/ dark/black in paint is the prescense of all color and in light it is the abscense!

I think both light and darkness are neccesary to appreciate and distinguish one from the other, Ravindra. A Great thought.
