have you heard a cloud speak?

or the earth hold its breath

a hush; an almost whisper

almost poetic

almost truth

she, a cloud

privy to the sun's cares

and to the moon's whimsy airs

all those secret exchanges

she, a cloud;

a secret-keeper

in her smile,

a thousand memories

of those mortals who wail

at the sky; asking why

cursive, many a times

love-struck fools

she's seen them all

heard it all

those histories untold

                                                     I have heard her give a sigh

                                                    almost poetic

                                                    almost the truth we seek

have you ever heard a cloud speak?
