The Clouds of Loss – Akshat Shukla, Uthar Pradesh

The Clouds of Loss:
The wafting clouds
Swell with dark emotions,
Shedding thick teardrops
Over the immensity of silence
Prevailing over humanity;
They drench the blankness
And sterility of souls
Marooned on the shore
Of total heartlessness.
These clouds wail loudly
Over the pain and conflict
Afflicting all,
Rendering us specters
Of evil and sin;
They endow us with
A fleeting deliverance.
