On Each Passing Cloud
The yearning sky shimmers with the sunburst colors,
the dawn splashes on my canvas mind the passing hues,
I capture to paint the crimson-tinged clump of cloud,
flashing like flaming flower in the vase of my heart.
The lilting lyric of lasting love I write for you,
with the rhythm of my heart on the fleeting cloud it flies.
With the touch of the magical astral gleam it turns into
the rainbow of my dream, arching your sensuous sky.
Away from my bleak mindscape in an unknown land far,
soft spring breeze wafting the cloud will caress you.
Love is in the air, it will musically whisper in your ear,
the ripple of joy will flutter your fervent feelings anew.
You will morph into a butterfly flying in the euphoric wind,
on the wings embellished with the lattice of ecstasy.
If you then look toward the sparkling sky you will find
on each passing cloud floats my dream of you.
