I have forever been in love with the sky & clouds…their many, ever-changing hues & moods…
How they play ‘the artist’ & ‘muse’ for each other…how each of them is a canvas for the other…
Sometimes, the clouds are rendering THE most beautiful spectacle on an empty blue sky & sometimes the sky acts a canvas for the most vibrant play of colours 🙂 ❤
They have a beautiful chemistry…a camaraderie…a love affair that results in the most spectacular natural display…
Whether it is a sunrise, a sunset, a raging storm, or a blazing summer sky… whether it is a glistening monsoon evening…or a warm winter afternoon… Their love story is to behold…Always.
Owing to a gorgeous weather due to a lovely summer shower in my part of the world, this post is my tribute to this majestic natural phenomenon, the inspiration for numerous poets, writers and musicians…the most passionate love affair since time unknown… I present to you few of my encounters with Sky & Clouds 🙂 ❤

“The night walked down the sky with the moon in her hand.” ~Frederick L. Knowles
“Then the sun’s noon-splendour Filled the cloud with light, Though a soft and tender Yet intensest white; And the wanderer weary Joyed that it was made, For it gave to him a cheery And a grateful shade.” ~ X?, “The Cloud

“…the evening sky’s pink-lit hue…”. ~ Terri Guillemets
“From out yon nimbus cloud, the mighty sun Sweeps o’er the raptured woods his golden beams, And wakens in my soul such dulcet chords As harp or breathing organ never swelled.” ~ James Rigg, “The Poet’s Ramble in October,” Wild Flower Lyrics and Other Poems, 1897
“Clouds are the sky’s imagination.” ~ Terri Guillemets Here I saw these clouds seemingly resting on these branches…ever so softly ❤
