THE POETIC SKY <br /> <br />As our world gently rotates, the complexion <br />of the blue sky begins to change, <br />As clouds ceaselessly form and unite, only to <br />dissipate! <br />The sunset sky blushes, and even dissolves <br />as refreshing rain! <br />But with the birth of each new day, <br />The sky always presents a clean blue slate! <br />For the poet to etch out his thoughts and <br />lines, <br />While the timeless blue sky forever displays, <br />it's cerulean blue state! <br /> <br />Like the changing sky the poet's thoughts and <br />words also rearrange; <br />In our evanescent life of continued flux, flow, <br />and change! <br />The crimson rays of the setting sun enters the <br />poet's veins, <br />And flows down to his heart and there to remain! <br />His heart is sensitive and he feels other's hurt, <br />Those flowers at dawn knowingly nods, and even <br />speak to his trusting heart! <br />The poet begins to write with the glow of starlight <br />showers, - <br />And those borrowed colours from the myriad <br />shades of flowers! <br />And he is blessed by the sky which yields and <br />melts in sympathy; <br />Flowing through his pen in limpid blue <br />transparency! <br />While he sincerely hopes that this boundless <br />and boarderless sky, <br />Which envelopes our entire humanity in a spirit <br />of sympathy, <br />Shall remain there forever as the all-embracing <br />Sky of Poetry! <br /> <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> New Delhi <br /> 22 May 08 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-poetic-sky/
