Shades Of Clouds Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

it was a long road but this part of my journey
is complete
never again in this life
i will be given the opportunity
to repeat
i did the best i could
to leave my parents legacy behind
i am yet to fulfill my own dream
and look forward to the future in kind

tomorrow i shall awake
to touch the dewdrops upon every petal and leaf
to venture into the silence of my soul
as a sage to find wisdom
no one shall have reason to remain in grief
having reach the top of the mountain
and given the opportunity to look down below
to persevere through the pain and sacrifice
i have come to recognize
the reason for every blow

like the shades of clouds
going over the horizon
wiith the hope of no return
so too the garment of my soul
will become of no value
when it is finish burn
the peace i share from my heart
will multiply a thousand fold
to rekindle my light
i am not of this world
and where i go from here
gives me no reason to fight

to transform my imagination
with the wind will take me far away
into the sea
i am not alone nor am i afraid
for the other world is where i want to be
i have kept my word
to put together a masterpiece
of innovation through the mind
take pattern of the footprints
i leave that the truth
you also will come to find.
