Behind the cypresses' pointed pinnacles,
Malleably swaying in the winter wind,
Grey and heavy, the clouds are passing:
Moved by the luminescent force of the sun.
Its regal crown of rosy rays are ramified
Upon the unseen face of the majestic sky,
Illuming from within with joy, and cease the cry;
Thus, I prognosticate a passing sadness
Of my heart, while in my spirit I deduce
That all is transient as the clouds above,
And I pierce through what my eyes behold:
It is the innate faith, as humans we possess,
To hold with hope through unpredictability;
For ephemeral all is, as the vanished smoke.
I lift up again my eyes to behold the sky,
Now, in a completely altered state of mind;
While imperceptibly my heart is conformed
To breathe, to slow, to calm its rhythm.
Through the window's clarity, my cigarette's smoke
Appears to mingle with the remaining clouds,
In a uniform alignment with the moving life.
'Thus I prognosticate a passing sadness Of my heart, while in my spirit I deduce That all is transient as the clouds above' I loved this poem from the title, through each line, each superb stanza, and like Mohammed, choose almost the exact lines because smoke blows away and clouds are water, water seen unseen chances states, in clouds air water is unseen yet still remains, water frozen is ice, heated melts, then as steam rises in air to invisibility; these images are aesthetically pleasing, the beauty of nature holds many life mysteries in which it is so easy to loose ourselves.
Only a poet can think and imagin like this and sees what others don't, a wonderful poem with great imageries,10+++ I quote: Thus I prognosticate a passing sadness Of my heart, while in my spirit I deduce That all is transient as the clouds above, And I pierce through what my eyes behold:

This poem has a lovely diction! You have wisely used the passing cloud and smoke to represent the transience of life and the sad realities of life occasionally blurring our environs like rising smoke! A 10
