My Silver Lining



 ( Image is copy right free and taken from Wikipedia)

As the dusk shimmers in brilliant shades ,
I catch a glimpse of you before darkness cascades.
A cloud passing by beckons me,
And as I reach out towards it, it begins to flee.

In fear, I cry out, “ stop do not leave me”,
“ I need your help”, please take me with you I plea.
“ I need to find my silver lining”,
“Which has gone away from me and left me pining”.

“ I can find it behind you, they say”,
“So please wont you stay?”
“Take me with you, so I can see”,
“if my silver lining is bonded or free”

“Foolish wench, who has filled your head”,
“With such thoughts and therby misled?”
“ There is no silver lining behind me”,
Said he and laughed out in glee.

“Nay your are wrong said I”,
“Take me with you into the sky”,
“ I will show you as we fly”,
“Then my silver lining we both shall spy”.

“ Hop on, you silly soul,”, said the cloud,
“ But, you will be disappointed “,he said aloud.
With boundless joy, I thrust my hands upto him,
And was lifted up, like a seraphim.

Cushioned in soft folds, we rushed at great speed,
Below me I saw the earth recede.
Entering the skies, the cloud slowed down his pace,
And said, “ dearie, began your trace”.

With great trepidation I searched,
From the cloud that I was perched.
I searched in vain,
My eyes smarting with the strain.

Defeated I fell sobbing from my perch,
And spiraled down in a lurch.
Suddenly , I felt myself in a powerful hold,
Gently twining me in its fold.

I opened my eyes and was baffled ,
When I saw a bright light that left me dazzled.
There he was my silver lining, all twined around me,
In utter blissfulness I laughed full of glee.

I gathered him close to my heart,
And whispered “I always knew that we would never part”.
In return he said, “ I might fade or rust”,
“but, keep me polished with your trust”.
