A Hill And A Cloud

On a sunny morning in Colorado Sun, a mile closer than plains, Greets me with added warmth. A silver polished peak against blue sky Seeks to mate with terrestrial cloud. The cloud descending on a gorgeous hill Whispers the bliss of heaven. Hill in return raves about earthly pleasure. Held together like body and soul In rapturous embrace The ecstasy of their beauteous love Bursts out to mesmerizes all. Yet none could hold the other long. Much to their chagrin The baleful wind breaks the silvery embrace And tears the cloud away. His promise to return soon Echoes around the hill in thunderous rain. Hill's gaze as always Fixed upon its vanishing love, Waiting, enduring, longing. Such is sometimes the love's destiny To keep the beloveds apart. Though the hill and a cloud's Beautiful union, however short-lived Is forever immortalized in my heart. 4.22.2014 Edited 9.18.2017
