Passing Clouds

 

After days of of rain, the sun broke through

Dark, heavy clouds gave way to fluffy white ones;

And then bits of blue sky and pale rays of sunshine

Still a hint of a breeze, a chill in the air.

 

The thick black clouds seemed made of iron

Like big wrecking balls, hanging down low

Oppressive, depressing, thoughts filled with misery

Hanging onto them drenches me in downpour, despair.

When they move on, I'm exhausted

Thinking, imagining, subjecting myself

To pain, fear, suffering, agony.

 

The thin pale, gauzy clouds

Like happy thoughts, pass too soon;

Misty clouds disappearing into vapor

Pleasure is not permanent, ever

 

Fleecy clouds, cottony soft clouds,

Layers and layers of sharp shards of clouds

Colorful at dawn, moody at dusk

Long ribbons of silver and rust;

Some threateningly low hanging

Some way, way up high

 

Just like sad thoughts, happy thoughts

Ponderous thoughts, wondrous thoughts

Loving thoughts, angry thoughts

Thoughts of worry, thoughts of hope,

Health and happiness, wealth and sadness

 

But in the end -

Everyone of them will pass -

This too shall pass, that too will pass

Every last cloud and thought will pass

 

No matter how much I wonder or worry

About day-to-day weather:

Cloudy today, rainy yesterday,

Sunny tomorrow, stormy the next day,

It's comforting to know

That all my worries and doubts, hopes and prayers

Are all just thoughts - passing clouds

 

In the end -

The only thing that's left is the infinite sky

The only reality that's absolute is the eternal God

 

Sai Ram and Love
