The stars were hidden by clouds, and the rains
Fell in an endless stream. Detail hidden
By those curtains, the dark shadows deepen,
Emptiness filling all, yet all remains.
Mirrors in these pools lie shattered, and show
No light, or image. Each drop scattered sight,
Hiding even darkness in the wet night.
From sky, to ground, to sea, the waters flow:
A cycle, to reign over all. And down
From heaven, to wash clean both air and stream..
The darkness still remains, as in some dream:
How could I hope that night would sorrows drown?
The sun peeked out, and rainbow formed with day,
The water flowing rapidly away.
