Bring the rain to home

Rain and dew nourish the decaying wood, making mushrooms and moss bloom.

I carry home the rain under my umbrella,

Nourishing my earth and wood.

After the rain,

Life sprouts from the cracks,

And the gloom of the rainy season fades away.

We are born accustomed to defining boundaries, constantly seeking the meaning within them.

Every day, as we walk and live,

our memories seem to trace paths through various circles and domains.

But rain never considers which boundary it falls within.

On my way home from the park, the rain kept pouring.

i walked under my umbrella,

carrying the rain from every place back home,

Only to realize,

Under the rain,

the flowers planted at my doorstep are no different from those I saw along the way.
