Contemplations with Clouds

Dr. Anupam Talwar

Enticing… alluring… distant clouds…

Coming hither.. or not?

At times they tantalize… and yet disperse at a distance..

Disappointed  and awestruck  alike..

I carry on… restless..

 Sometimes they pass through me… un announced,

Leaving me thrilled by the embrace…

My atoms mingling with them..carried off into the skies…

The rest of me will meet them later…

…but some of me is cloud NOW…

What an exciting thought …

What an exhilarating experience!

 But then I wait and wait, yet it doesn’t happen again …

..for days, months… moments…

Does time matter … or exist… ?

Does perception prove existence? …

 Philosophy…poetry…physics…

Consciousness…chaos…calm…

Formed…dissolved…

In me… around me… through me …

 The distant dance…

The teazing and leaving…

The gushing embrace..

 I used to value one over the other…

But now I realize… all have their own beauty..

Living through each is unique… and precious …

 Rain is not the only joy of clouds…

 As some of me floats freely in the skies and looks at the rest of me…

Lying on the ground… looking at the clouds…

Hoping to be one with them..

..and to be carried by the winds … to be united with the ocean…

I know that it will happen…

It is in motion already…

 Overwhelmed
with love,  I close my eyes…

This moment… my history… the forever…

A dance of the elements…

Miniscule me… dispersed everywhere…

Musings… music…  peace..

 The hills make me experience the clouds like never
before!
