The Clouds rush to the mountains , they caress him gently

They fight for his attention , they rise to kiss his lips

The Clouds believe the mountain is smitten ,

that he stands so hight to not let them pass

that he stands uncomfortably still with Rishi like repose

because he waits for their return every year

There is no doubt in their mind , the Mountain loves them

It is sad that they’ll never know

that the mountain does not care for them

It only wants the nourishing rain they carry

He doesn’t nudge them up to kiss them

He does it to break them and get what he wants

And by the time they understand , it’s too late

It’s sad that no cloud survives to warn the others

The River Rushes to the Sea

Her instincts tell her this is her destiny

She’s grown up on stories of love

And on tales of blind and illogical passions

And she’s in too much of a hurry to meet her lover

To feel rather than think

But when she sees the Sea

His immensity , depth and power .

She hesitates and meanders

But her innate romanticsm wins

And she flows happily into his arms

It’s sad that she will never know

that the sea doesn’t love her

That the sea is too lost in his own grandiosity

to even notice the river

That her loving embrace doesn’t change the Sea

That the water she received as a gift from the sea

Was actually given to her by a philantrophic Sun

It’s sad by the time the River realises the truth ,

She’s already lost her her identity

———————————————————————————

And then there is the Earth

Unlike the other , she thinks more than feel

Her mind is more powerful than her heart

She sees the Sun

Alone , luminous and magnificent

Has so much and is so wasteful with it

The Earth being smart

Uses the Sun’s wasted energy

Nourishes herself and grows

In character, mind body and spirit

She marvels at her own brilliance

and what she’s done with Life

She fears the Sun and his immense powers

And hates the way he lavishes his God given gifts

It’s sad that she’ll never know that the Sun could have left

Yet he stands there all alone so that he can give to the Earth

He wants to come closer but he knows he can’t

He knows his passion is so strong that it will hurt her

So he stands afar and admires his Lady

It’s sad that no one’s around to tell the Earth

Just how much the Sun loves her .
