Clouds

'Meghaduta'
Kalidasa’s verse
Par excellence
Immortal poem
Of love and longing
 
The cloud is the messenger
Between the lovers
Creativity’s beauty
Literary gem of the heart
 
Today’s cloud
Holds data
For the world to move
 
We need both the clouds
Of life’s heart and head
 
Cloud of love
Which throbs with ardour
The other
Pulsates with statistics
 
Both travel
To destinations
Both powerhouses
Of purpose
To beautifully balance
Life and existence
And their furtherance
