Roaming Cloud

Roaming Cloud

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 vapor, 

making me one with thy light, 

and thus I count months and years separated from thee. 

If this be thy wish and if this be thy play, 

then take this fleeting emptiness of mine, 

paint it with colors, gild it with gold, 

float it on the wanton wind and spread it in varied wonders. 

And again when it shall be thy 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.
