A REMNANT....

"I AM A REMNANT OF a CLOUD..." By  Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) From Gitanjali a collection.... written in 1910

I am like a remnant of a cloud of autumn, uselessly roaming in the sky.

O my sun ever glorious!

Thy touch has not yet melted my vapour

Making me one with your light.

And thus I count months and years separated from you.

If this be your wish and this be your play

than take this fleeting emptiness of mine

Paint it with colours

Gilt it with gold

Float it on the wanton wind

And spread it in varied wonders

And again when it shall be your wish

to end this play at night

I shall melt and vanish away in the dark

or it may be in a smile......

of the white morning.

In a coolness of purity transparent.
