I Am A Cloud Poem by Rizwana Sultana

I travel above the rivers and streams,
Over the hills, plains and trees.
Over the buildings, castles and forts,
I watch the whole world in peace.
I float in an elated mood,
Above the valleys, fields and wood.

I have no enemy or foe,
Except for the wind blowing,
Tearing me into so many shreds,
Incessantly, from morning till evening.
Otherwise, I could go on increasing my size,
And cover the endless, azure skies.

I am pure white, sometimes silver and gray,
Floating across my way.
Whenever heat is emitted by the golden sun,
I block its way to give shade to everyone.
Without me, the sky would be bare,
I make the weather fresh and fair.

I cause the lightning to strike aloud,
And frighten people with thunder's sound,
But when the earth becomes cracked and dry,
I feel sad, shed my tears and cry.
And again, the earth shines with mirth,
As life comes back to lifeless earth.
