Cause & Effect
Arriving indifferently,
We suffer;
Then not, Then so,
Then not.
There are trees
And things around you.
Call them things around you.
A roar at dawn, each day
Arrives in tears;
Bringing a rain
That may cleanse your air.
There may be despair.
You make it different,
By giving it a different name.
And when the heart of the lion
Beats another dawn,
You will become the rain
That will cleanse another’s air.
