A track for Naviar Records weekly haiku challenge, making a track in response to the haiku posted within one week. I wanted to capture the feeling of watching the rain hit the windows during a storm on a spring day. I also think the piece has a slightly medieval feel to it.

spring dream… not becoming unhinged
is what’s unbearable

In spring sunlight
the rows of tea bushes
ripple like waves
