The darker hour approaches

and the rain sets in.

Hard down pour pelting the roofs,

and I feel my soul is being cleansed.

Wash away all sins, a clean slate.

Let the concepts and misprisions be purified

in their own place

I need this rainfall.

I need a free and clear mind state

more than I need the air, the earth and all the sustaining elements.

Let the silenced cessation bring emptiness

and a noble intention.

Luminous peace washes over…

and I know without doubt that

the hopes of all beings are attainable,

slowly,

step by step,

gently

choosing virtue,

lightly.

Liberating.
