In sweltering sun Love sprouts as a light rain falls Gently nourishing Struggling for life Flowering despite fall's chill Passion thriving still Embers gently glow Flourishing in winter's cold Lighting a dark soul Humid heat ignites A warm thaw bringing new growth Inspires passion's oath Harvest yields discord Fierce frost freezes fallen tears Baleful blizzard nears Starry night darkens A fearful reaction wounds Jealous shadow looms Condensing spring clouds Anger and lightning lacing Summer storm racing Drifting in silence With autumn's leaves fall our dreams Drowned in icy streams Denied human warmth Blossoms wilt as winter fades Left frozen in shade

Life Cycle
In sweltering sun Love sprouts as a light rain falls Gently nourishing Struggling for life Flowering despite fall's chill Passion thriving still Embers gently glow Flourishing in winter's cold Lighting a dark soul Humid heat ignites A warm thaw bringing new growth Inspires passion's oath Harvest yields discord Fierce frost freezes fallen tears Baleful blizzard nears Starry night darkens A fearful reaction wounds Jealous shadow looms Condensing spring clouds Anger and lightning lacing Summer storm racing Drifting in silence With autumn's leaves fall our dreams Drowned in icy streams Denied human warmth Blossoms wilt as winter fades Left frozen in shade
Life will show us incredible beauty and replace it with indescribable sadness. Impermanence is the only permanence. It is this transience itself that makes all of our experiences so vitally important, so beautiful. Mono no aware describes both an appreciation of this beauty and a gentle sadness at the ephemeral nature of existence. It is generally regarded as nearly impossible to translate, but I have done my best lol. :p I wrote this as an homage to a very important person/relationship. I have struggled most of my life to overcome the loss of this person's friendship, and this concept has helped me begin to view this in a way that I can actually process. I attempted to capture the beauty, love, strife, and sadness of this experience in a 'mono no aware' style for this reason. I rewrote this one a bit so I am shamelessly reposting. ;) © 04/17/21 Jason R. Michie All Rights Reserved
