A Soft Rain Caresses Gently

A soft rain caresses gently, running into streams as the joy

of the Earth accepts the sky’s offering,

and sparrows celebrate

over the widening river

so lovingly held

in the hands of the mountain.

And one day,

this same river will empty itself

as a sacrifice

into the expanse of the sea

and the endless horizon.
