Flexibility

As clouds drift, ideas too
some pragmatic, some ideal
not all feasible, everyone knows---
flexibility need of the hour.

Moving a pawn doesn't draw attention
knight stepping aside looks significant
bishop keeps watching from a corner
isn’t life a game of chess?

Mist makes solar flower invisible
clouds may mask Diana at nights
choppy sea tosses mighty vessels
committed captains reach shores safe!

Stepping back not act of cowardice
shrewd folks know survival strategy.
