A Poem about Transience

Everything in life is transient. So we have clouds in clear skies that herald a cheerful day ahead. Thunder clouds ring of doomsday, but thankfully that doesn't last for long. The clouds at sunset signal romance and desire. Whatever they symbolize, they have one thing in common - all of them only last for a time.

Clear

Clouds, their faces

Grace the skies

With charm and joy

They pave the happy way ahead

For a time

Thunderclouds

Harbinger of doom

Toll the bell

Releasing showers that may not bless

But let go

For a time

Clouds with a red rose hue

Touch the heart

Make it tingle

With endless want

But the want

Fizzles

After the sun sets

All clouds,

Clear, red, thunder formed

Touch the sky in different ways

But the differing taps

Last

Only for

A second.
