tonight there will be Moonlight After Rain, said Princess Haiku


photo

Pain is not pleasure
if we know
It heaps up treasure-
even so.
Turn, transfigured pain,
Sweetheart, turn again
For fair thou art as moonrise after rain



Christina Rossetti

So true !
Pain allows to find pleasure indeed and rain does sunlight coming just after much more beautiful...
