    Yarro Rai
    “Take your rainbows
    Oh! high monsoon instead cloak me and her with rain
    so that we can hide from that tragic fate
    Wrap us in one of those grey clouds
    lets us sail through that gush and storm
    hide us in these thunder and black clouds
    until the end of time
    or
    until we melt too and drip through these very own skies
    sell my soul to feisty east winds for more time in her arms
    because
    I know no separation
    only death
    oh! melancholy rain
    oh! melancholy rain

    do I have to cry louder than the thunder itself
    and lose my ability to utter 'love you'
    and be labelled as betrayer in front of her confessions
    I better be unborn and with no existence
    If there is no being; how can there be separation.”
    Yarro Rai

That’s Murphy’s law.’” Everyone burst into laughter.”

    Joseph Campbell
    “Just as anyone who listens to the muse will hear, you can write out of your own intention or out of inspiration. There is such a thing. It comes up and talks. And those who have heard deeply the rhythms and hymns of the gods, can recite those hymns in such a way that the gods will be attracted.”
    Joseph Campbell, The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life & Work
