Summer afternoon,
misty cool rain washes away sadness,
residual pain.
Approaching promised moon like a pearl balloon floats above cloudy lanes drenched in rain.
Earth beneath forever sky shimmers, shines with endless life.
Blueness blends in a thousand shades: sky, birds, flowers, rocks, rivers.
Earth aches under its own weight.
Power, beauty, prisms of light sparkle in rain puddles,
and drench the parched earth.
