It pours
we brave the rain
as do others
then fog
dancing among the trees
others dance as well
some enjoy the view
and some don’t give a damn
This young girl must work
carrying bricks
and cement
Madame runs her shop
mother and daughter come to buy
There is a respect for trees
interpreted diversely
sometimes abusively
they roar
undulate
and glow
There are lakes as well
with sea horses
swans
and water
at last
Sapna cleans the room
offerings are made
as Chuwar Rinpoche is coming for lunch
Then tea
and prayers
before another afternoon adventure
With prayers for all
