Sun and Rain

The rain, fond visitor
breath of warm
wet sky and
smell of trees
this is heaven's
kiss

All sensation
self-referent
enwrapped in
delusion
warm skin as
untrustworthy
as a cloud

The sun travels
across the sky
we abide
like helpless cattle
while seasons
revolve

All purposes
fleeting and empty
our teeming minds
dripping with
plans
we hardly
notice the
circle enclosing
our lifetimes.


I combined these two poems which were fragments I wrote in my journal in those moments while waiting for an appointment or a friend. I felt how much life is illustrated or demarcated by the weather and seasons, how much it informs our thoughts.
