Listen to Your Own Heartbeat. Clouds. Poem by Joyita Bandyopadhyay

 

Clouds:

Clouds of doubt & Clouds of hope
Clouds that bring out our very scope

Clouds that dampen or brighten our lives
Clouds that bring out natures vibes

What is this nature that we talk about?
Is it within us that makes our thoughts sprout?

Each living being carries a seed
The Seed to thrive or to breed

When the seed sown is muddled in dust
The mind wanders & starts to rust

Thoughts of destruction, sadness start to grow
Greed, jealously a muddled flow

Within this trap one starts to think
This life I have really stinks

Clouds of despair begin to show
Wiping out life’s beautiful glow

In such times one needs to stop
Watch their thoughts & make a swap

Be a witness to the thoughts you see
Life is not disdainful but a colourful glee

Bless the ones who prosper & grow
Knowing that blessings will over pour

What you send out will come back to you
So nurture the seeds of loving hue
