Clouds in the skies; clouds in the skies; clouds, clouds
Clouds in the skies; some clustering; some cluttering
Some straying; some strewing; all in one yonder
Like free floating vices and flouted virtues

There is no pride in living as humans...some one else controls our destiny...and when the messengers of death come calling, we have to leave this abode.....a very wise compilation....loved it! ! ! ! ! ! !
The last line conveys the message in a distilled form! 10! Yes, we are all fellow passangers to the grave; only some go early and others a bit late! Being an artist, I loved the first para describing Gods myriad canvas! -Raj Nandy
A light-hearted look at God's creatures and the 'tall poppies' that disturb the rest. Your final stanza is neat, succinct and thought-provoking - all at the same time. Your title is clever, too. A pleasing little parable. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
it reminds me of death be not proud. very interesting comparison- we all have place in the scheme of things and feel so humble once we recognise it.10 Mamta
Sathya, this is a beautiful subtle examination of man's place in the whole scheme of the human race, yes? The sun's rays changed the color of the clouds; the sun's rays changed the color of man's skin. We're all the same human beings but nature played its part in separating us. Time for we humans to embrace our relatives, our brothers and sisters, regardless of color. Under the skin, we are one and have always been since the beginning of time. Time to grow up and bond and make this a better world! My best, Carol

Correct me if I am way off here. But I see this one white cloud amongst some rain clouds. Thus, the Holy Blunder? Ten anyway! Peace, The other Linda
Interesting piece, Sathya. Not sure I get the drift completely, but every now and then a shining spirit comes along that stands out from the crowd. Is that just a 'misdirected beam' - or one with definite purpose? Thought-provoking read. Linda
You messaged me to read this poem and I’m glad you did. I found it a delightfully profound read. You grabbed my attention right away with your deft use of epanaphora in S1. You have the gift of keeping your reader’s attention throughout the entire poem. Well done!
