Passing Clouds !

I sit peacefully , watching the ocean .......
Perched high in the verandah of this beautiful beach front home .
A gentle breeze , combing through my wet shampooed hair .
My thoughts ......... swimming in , one after the other ,
Like the waves frolicking into shore and flirting with the sands ..... happily .
What a perfect picture ; solace to the eye's of my soul ... and .... the ears of my heart .
Across the limitless canvas of the skies , strokes of painted clouds , passing by .... lazily ,
Sluggishly watching the world go by , with gay abandon .
Down below sitting hand in hand , whispering sweet nothings , a couple !
Enveloped in a cocoon of love , in a world of their own ,
Promises ...... like footprints in the sand , washed away with the next outbound surf .
Far away sits a net , next to a catamaran .... both tied together , for life !
Waiting to go out , with the next tide .
Their promise ..... lies in the bounty of their next catch .
Dashing across the sands , a group of dogs , playfully growling .
No words to keep , no home to go back to ......... but .........
Man's most faithful and trustworthy friend .
Across the skies , they fly back to their nests , A formation of birds .
No maps , no air traffic control ....... but ....... always on track ... homebound .
As the sun goes down , i watch the fading colours and the creeping shadows ...... but .......
I am sure of his promise to rise again tomorrow morning .
I think to myself ........... In this beauitiful picture ,
In this perfection in chaos ,
Man ..... ?? Are'nt you just a kaleidoscope of life ,
Just another passing cloud , in all creation ??
Just another stepping stone to perfection ??
