SUNDAY MORNING RAIN

SUNDAY MORNING RAIN

Sunday morning rain,

rain is real,

not Sunday

or morning

on the other side

of the world.

Sunday morning rain,

heavenly blessing

nourishing all of nature,

an inconvenience

only for animals

wearing clothes,

who stay inside

or protect themselves

with raincoats

and umbrellas.

BODY AND SOUL

BODY AND SOUL

Body begins to fade

but mind comes alive

like late blooming lilacs.

 

Thoughts long buried

blossom in forever fields

of freshness

. 

Bones disintegrate,

ideas survive

somewhere in the universe,

anxious for their chance to return.

The pieces come and go,

but  spirit is eternal.

 

As Bruno said:

the death of the part

is the rejuvenating  life

of the whole.
