A Hill And A Cloud
On a sunny morning in Colorado
Sun, a mile closer than plains,
Greets me with added warmth.
A silver polished peek against blue sky
Seeks to mate with terrestrial cloud.
The cloud descending on gorgeous hill
Whispers the bliss of heaven.
Hill in return raves about earthly pleasure.
Held together like body and soul
In rapturous embrace
The ecstasy of their beauteous love
Bursts out to mesmerize all.
Yet none could hold the other long.
Much to their chagrin
Baleful wind breaks the silvery embrace
And tears the cloud away.
His promise to return soon
Echoes around hill in thunderous rain.
Hill's gaze as always
Fixed upon its vanishing love
Waiting, enduring, longing.
Such is sometime love's destiny
To keep the beloveds apart,
Accept that beautiful union is
For ever immortalized in my heart.

Savita Tyagi, India/USA
— Born in 1948 I was raised in India. As a student of liberal arts I studied history, Hindi and Sanskrit literature and completed my M.A. in Western History. After marriage I migrated to California and later came to live in Oklahoma, where I reside currently with my husband of 46 years. In U.S. I developed interest in and learned more of English literature. At some point this interest took me on the path of poetry reading and writing, which I am still following along with learning more and more of English and Sanskrit poetry. While ancient poetry takes me to the path of self discovery, the contemporary writings help strengthen the social consciousness.
