no matter how much rain may fall – a poem by Antoni Ooto

no matter how much rain may fall
 
you will get through this
leaning forward recalling spring
 
nudging a belief in growth and change —
favoring a fairness
 
like a monk who seasons a waiting field—
 
where all his hopes faithfully soak;
dropping seeds, while keeping that final vow.
