under your canopy

under your canopy

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


under your canopy

 

 

slight rain taps shoulder

shivered spine of reflection

almost a sun's dance

There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you still get the same soaking. This understanding extends to everything. -hagakure

I pictured someone sitting under a tree in a dense forest...just communing with nature and thoughts. The sun peeks through. The rain interrupts the reverie. You painted quite a scene here. Lydi**

Whatever form this may be it is a stunning choice and use of words. There is a world here in a few lines.

Not sure whether this is haiku or senryu; most likely, senryu.
Elegant imagery suggesting many things.
Lovely piece!
