I See You in the Clouds – #PicturePrompt: WDYS

Published on by balroop singh

I See You in the Clouds

A moment etched in time
A moment to cherish
A moment that was ours,
When we were together
When we rejoiced,
Our laughter louder than the rumble of drums – must be, I am sure.

I could only conjure those times.

When they let you merge with flames,
I could only wonder why we were so unfortunate
Why the demon of death chose you
Though we needed you more than him. 

Wrapped in your velvety touch,
I must’ve felt warmer than the sun
I remember how much you cared for my wishes
I know how much you were proud of me.

I see you in the clouds, always thinking of us
I know your brilliance merged with the sun,
Adding glory to its hues
To let it percolate and warm us.

When people tell me ‘you’re brave,’ I think of you
When they say ‘you exude confidence,’ I think of you
I know you left your virtues within me
I was little when you departed but I can still see you.

  4. This is very beautiful, Balroop. I thought it was about your husband but the reference to being little when you departed made me wonder if it’s about your father.

    I love the imagery of,
    “I see you in the clouds, always thinking of us
