Taking life in stride

(3089)  Megher pare megh jameche, asarher akash

Clouds atop clouds have convened
On the Asarh^[1] heavens.
Rain falls down greatly stormy;
Furious, the wind.

Bird-nests are floating away;
A haven the drenched traveler craves.
In paddy fields from water-stream
Is the ocean's hint.

Steering boat a sailor proceeds;
The shoreline he goes on ignoring.
Not obtaining depth in waters deep,
His perspective is stoic.
