There seems to be a certain futility in the journey; tinged with great sadness; loneliness. But there is also an urging to be alive to the wonders that persist on the road of life, especially if we take the road less traveled. Keep looking forward; we may seem insignificant and our actions may appear not to make a difference, but if we choose wisely then we can contribute to peace, and put the bloodshed behind us; put our old selves (the reflection we no longer wish to see) firmly in the past and move forward anew.
A deeply reflective poem from you as always - always complex in construction and open to interpretation. They always make me think! And I love that 💗 !LUV !ALIVE !PIZZA
I dropped in from Dreemport this evening. #dreemer for life

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
