LOST

I am in the midst of nowhere…… I sit under the sky, and I stare into the blue…..

A cloud floats in the sky, the sky is so vast and the cloud so lonely. But still it does not stop, it goes on with the wind hoping to find something on the way, may be it can touch other clouds and be a part of them or perhaps it is searching for the perfect rainbow. The cloud flies in every direction, it travels all around the sky. The cloud realizes that the sky is endless and so is its journey, and so is its quest to find the perfect rainbow and shine with it, and that her life may end ‘as water’ but her quest will remain incomplete. The cloud no more wants a ‘perfect rainbow’, it no more wants to fly with the wind. The cloud does not know what it wants…it is so lost in the emptiness within itself, from outside.

The cloud knows that nothing can be perfect and that it is possible to be very happy within that imperfection. The cloud just wants to be happy in the sky and cling to it, it can’t fall onto the earth so soon, so young. The quest is lonely now, but the cloud knows it has to just keep going, it has to find something…..the only question is find what??

I get up, I walk away from its emptiness, the hollow is all around me.
