April raindrops

 

Nature is cruel enough.

What humans do to ourselves

and each other – what’s the point?

Compassion or some quest for wisdom?

Random moving through space, through time,

through sufferings so we know we’re here?

 

 

 

One puzzling issue:

People who do evil seem to think so much

better of themselves than those who strive

to do good.

 

 

 

So much ultimate beauty

Yes, those surprise sunrise glories,

chilling heart crying stories, songs that

won’t stop singing through every step

of your day that makes those days less

onerous to carry through.

Who we are in silent spaces of our own

self-pondering, wandering in wonder.
