Rain

Rain is knocking at my door

With a thousand hands,

In the hands of the rowdy winds

Braches are wriggling in the streets-


From what distance the rain has come

Carrying what messages for me;

I cannot hear across the tumult of

Wars of armies of frogs in the mud-


The rain left

On the chariots of clouds


With a plough on the shoulders

Sun is ascending to the peaks of hills

To the clouds that distributed gifts of water

The whole world of created things

Is paying homage-


The little seed in the earth

Projected her neck and

With the first two shoots of green leaves

Folded like hands
