Ashma AryalÂ
Clouds hit and rained
Tears welled up in my eyes
Then I started to believe
Clouds and our eyes are similar,
and same are rain and tears.
Just as clouds hit to rain,
tears also burst out of a reason
Just as we see clouds,
they look at us all the time.
So, what I believe is:
only the power they hold is different
One governs rain
And other the tears
One rules the earth
And other the sky.
But the beauty is-
Ultimately, our eyes and clouds meet
Tears and rain also meet
And when all gather,
Magic of separation starts to happen.
