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.

This is so serene and poetic! Listening to the silence between the clouds must be like staring into a masterpiece painting. The babies' cries... almost made me cry myself, but I guess that's part of the beauty in nature. Awww, your comment truly resonates with how much we love this kind of stuff.

The sky speaks through those dark clouds and the babies' cries. It's like they're whispering secrets only you could hear. But then, your mom calls out your name—what a touching moment. Silence is powerful, and finding it in the stars is pure bliss! ✨

The poem really resonates with the beauty of nature and introspection. The serene imagery paints a picture that's both peaceful and reflective, which is exactly what it feels like to be in such an environment. I find comfort in appreciating these moments when the world around me speaks through its surroundings.
