More about Clouds

Where do Clouds go when they die, as they fade away do they breathe a sigh? Their souls fall to earth as rain waiting to be reborn and lifted from the ground back in the billows again to be found.
The Sky becomes naked and lonely blue before the eye, the crops morn as they become parched and dry, a sad sight to the farmers who wring their hands wondering why.

The desert hides their watery treasure from the lost thirsty soul’s sight, the animals dig in the dry river bed with all their might.
The elephant weeps as her little one’s cry before going to their last sleep, reluctantly away from them the mother creeps.

Suddenly a cool wind blows, the animals lift their noses to the Sky, a huge dark Cloud is hovering nearby. Great darkness abounds as the awesome bolts strike the ground, their light momentarily dispels the dark from sight.

The torrential rain falls all around, the melody it plays is a sweet sound, the creatures rejoice as life is renewed again as in God they have a true friend.
The high mountains embrace the flow, where they store this treasure only they know. In the Spring from their hidden stores the meadow’s sparkling streams once again will flow, again the buckets fill and life comes back to the old Mill.

    I love the imagery in this poem. It creates an effect of one of those "speed up nature" videos. I like the flow of events, how it's high spirited, brings you down and up again.

    Well done!

    BTW, I just watched a video last week from "TED Ed" titled "What makes a poem... a poem?" and from it I understand that poetry can be in paragraph form. It's called "Prose poetry". So, I'm sorry for criticizing you about that because that's your style.

      Zahra, don't be sorry, I acually like the new style that you taught me. In School English was my Class and you are a great Teacher! By the way, my first Cousin Evelyn was an English Teacher in Canada and she published a Book about English but I don't know the details, maybe a Goggle search under her maiden name Tierney? Ken

      Thank you Darklight, Ben and Em, the Song; Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain was an inspiration to me in writing this poem. Also those Monday Holidays laying in bed with the sound of the rain outside was a delight! Our daughter in California always misses those beautiful billowing Clouds of Florida.
      Regards to all, Ken

    Lovely, Ken. What an interesting and original write this is. As I read, I could almost imagine my own lips becoming parched and then, at the end, drenched in the wholesome goodness of heaven's springs!

    Well done indeed, good man.

    Take care,

    Ben
