Lost as in a dream

Lost as in a dream

I seek the shadow

of one who has swirled away..

abandoning friends,

abandoning humanity.

what awaits us all

is the path to emptiness.

Knowing my heart

the flowers weep,

and the wild birds cry..

Makie Otono-Tachibana 

Yusuf (46-47)

(47) [Joseph] said, "You will plant for seven years consecutively; and what you harvest leave in its spikes, except a little from which you will eat.

(48) Then will come after that seven difficult [years] which will consume what you saved for them, except a little from which you will store.

(49) Then will come after that a year in which the people will be given rain and in which they will press [olives and grapes]."

p/s : This is among my favorite phase in the holy book..
