When the sky spoke

He whispered—and I heard.
The dark clouds spoke in a language only I could understand.
The crying of nearby babies tried to pull me away,
but I remained still, aware.
I looked into the overwhelming sky
and understood words beyond anyone’s imagination.
I realized: the sky holds unspoken truths—
you only need calmness to listen.
Astonished by its beauty,
I kept listening,
kept jotting down the silence between the clouds.
But then—
my mother called my name.
I had to go.
And when I returned,
the sky was back to normal.
