"WITHIN THE CLOUD" BY AJAKAYE STRIDA

Within the cloud,

I see the dawn whispering hope

to the stretching bodies that arise.

Within the cloud,

I see the rude sunlight, nagging its value,

laughing at human beings.

Within the cloud,

I see the the wind, somersaulting sand particles

and leaking the arrival of rainfall to man.

Within the cloud,

I see the stars sitting during the heavy night,

showing us unfulfilled souls awaiting to be reincarnated.

Within the cloud,

I see The Almighty God's wide fingers, across the globe,

depicting His unconditional passion towards all creatures.
