At the End of a Long Day
©November 14th, 2017
By Vijaya Sundaram
It isn’t easy.
I want to be gentle rain.
Alas! A downpour!
At times, rainbows form
Alas, too quickly, vanish.
Thunderclouds again.
……
Aspire to one’s self
Sitting there atop a cliff
Climb carefully up.
Catch yourself falling,
Here a branch, there a small shrub,
Climb the cliff again.
……
Existence is clouds
Gathering around one’s feet,
One’s head in the sky.
Below, nimbuses
Above, nebulae and suns
Wait! I’m upside down!
