A handful of words

A herd of clouds is grazing on a distant convoy of mountains while a bevy of whitecaps upsets the rhythm of a flock of boats netting swarms of silvery fish pursued by angry crowds of gulls.
Even the horde of trees shudder and retreat before the bucket of breezes and a protest march of sand blows amongst the city of dunes and a one only lonely sun watches and weeps a constellation of tears.

Lovely chook!

Those words would sound great spoken over a chill-out tune I'm working on......would you mind if I give it a go?

I have read very few good prose poetry in blogs and this is one of the finest!

handful of words says 'heartful' of imagination and emotions...

You are too kind Shubhajit. I have little of your way with words.

and that ending:

and a one only lonely sun watches and weeps a constellation of tears.

a small well-cut jewel... worth to be read a hundred times!

no kidding... i'm serious!

You can't believe what your words mean to me, from a poet of your standing.
Someone said that poems come to them like a gust of wind and so with me, I turn around to see the damage left and find a sapling amongst the broken limbs.
