A Vortex of Changing EmotionsTanabata #6
As the yearly journey
of separation and sadness
slowly comes to an end,
the pair is overwhelmed by
a vortex of changing emotions –
wishes to secretly slip away
and hitch a quick ride
to the star-studded heavens.
The cycle, however, is fixed,
patience required to wait
for the appointed evening.
One night of ecstasy
that erases the sorrow
of departure and
annual segregation.
Lainie Senechal
Tanabata: According to legend, each July 7th the weaver star (Vega) and cowherder star (Altair) traverse the Milky Way to renew their ancient bond of love.
