plum blossoms

plum blossoms -
this strong rain
hits them all
.................................................................................
The Old Ones have always said
that no matter who despises or ignores you,
no matter who keeps you
from entering their circles,
it is right to pray for them
because the are like us, too.

It looked so different from the usual early morning light on the tiles.
Then I looked up in the sky and saw the moon hang over there ... whow ...
frosty morning -
such a bright full moon
in the west
