☆ Maverick Cloud…  ☆

☆

O’  dear water-laden cloud!  You keep

floating  over  the  dried  arid  land,

with an infectious melody of chiming wind,

Your  wondrous zeal is so heartwarming,

 Your beauty, so celestially enchanting…!

*

But intriguingly, why d’you keep saying:

“I’m just a poor homeless maverick cloud,

Just a wandering bubble of floating water,

everready  to  sacrifice  my  existence!”

*

But  sometimes, you look menacingly scary,

At times you’re  threateningly intimidating,

Yet, most of the times you do incarnate as the

life-sustaining Messiah descended from the

heavens above to save the helpless mankind..!
