It’s raining-Seijaku

Written: July 28, 2024

                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There will be rainfall soon
Quietude is how we spot roots
of creative impulse
Its fragrance permeates the air
There is a brief pause in the music
There is also motionlessness in dancing
I draw deeper breaths
Yoga seeks self-awareness and focus 
We must learn how to quiet our minds.

Stifling heat is gone
I relish the fluky summer shower
Focus your prayers solely on God
No punter thoughts of you
Oh, restless saffron, a hermit
What are you hoping to gain?
You are doomed!
How do we create a wagerer world?
Unless we improve ourselves.

A slow, steady trickle
Misty droplets trickle down
Cool air dispels the heat
Unraveled as if time forgot
Trees run through Haze
Thank you for respecting us
You maintain your balance

When riches long for a palace
I crave meadows
As fields tend to be evasive
Things will deteriorate with time
As the world around us crumbles.

I cannot rescue you from shadows
An unidentified person appears hungry
What can we observe?
We don't fathom where we're going
When the only thing left is a dream,
When does it first start to rain?
In a world where clouds never break,
Maybe I run till I'm breathless
Despite this, I will sustain my mask
Stars illuminate the sky
Kids wonder why
So, abide by them
with stories and explanations of why.

Daniel Henry Rodgers July 29, 2024 at 6:31 AM Hello Sotto, Oh, so well expressed! I loved the way you layed out the secret to life and finding peace and self-awareness amidst life's chaos and challenges. As part of my counseling world, I teach the importance of quieting the mind, focusing on personal growth, and seeking solace in simple natural moments like a summer shower. I loved reading this, Sotto! - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
