Hi, @samsmith1971! Always a joy to have you stop by to read. In the comments there are many interpretations (I love that), but the feelings it produced are quite similar: sadness, loneliness, desolation, futility (I think this word you mention is one of the keys to the poem), as if poetry stirs things that are on another level. Perhaps the fact of wanting to interpret the poem is just a way of rationalizing those feelings that the word has already generated (I am thinking about this as I write it), a ceremony itself, tinged with futility, but born of that being alive that you mention. Surely we are mistaken when we think that certain things are produced by the ceremony (that it rains because we dance in the round) and that reminds me of a phrase of Lacan, something like: if you think you have understood, you are surely mistaken. And in the rain dance there is one thing that is very certain: the desire for it to rain. I guess that's wonderful in itself. Sorry for all this delirium! Cheers! !LUV

So true! There is so much more out there than we could ever comprehend. It would be sheer arrogance to believe that we have a handle on all of it. But we can seek to understand increments with humility.
And yes... the purpose and intentionality behind the rain dance. If we don't at least start with that; with a clear objective and idea in mind, then where is the point in it all? At least we have that... purpose 💗
and not delirium at all hehe. I love the way you formulate your thoughts !LUV !ALIVE
