Not In Vain
From the fast melting clouds comes the rain
you might wonder, and ask does it fall in vain
the question the river and the forest don’t pose
you would not either if you care to look close
see how from mellow hearts kindness drains.
From the deep darkness comes the sun again
you might wonder, and ask does it rise in vain
the question the day and the birds don’t ask
you would not either if you know how to bask
in the glow of the inner light the soul retains.
From desolate desert’s core comes the fountain
you might wonder, and ask does it spring in vain
the question Bedouins and the oasis don’t frame
you would not either if you know how to be tame
in the turmoil of tough time where destiny reigns.
