A perfect arc through broken skies
Seven wounds the light can’t hide
The rain has passed, but still I cry
Colors fade, but meanings rise
Niji Hai — in loss, we pray
In silent pages, truth will stay
Bow to the word, bow to the flame
Even in ash, we write our name
I drank the nectar, deep in hell
Felt heaven’s lie, its empty shell
Nekomata laughed, the demons sang
My name dissolved — a smoky pang
Niji Hai — in flames, we bow
To what was never, here or now
Defeat is bright, if seen with grace
A rainbow scar on Buddha’s face
Don’t fear the fall — it’s how we bend
Before the silence, meaning ends
A single stroke, a whispered “yes”
The brush remembers what we forget
Niji Hai — a vow, a line
A shattered word becomes divine
We fall, we write, we love, we die
But always bow beneath the sky

"Niji Hai - Bowing to Silence"
Even when colors fade, meaning rises.
We pray in ash, we write, we love-
and quietly, we bow to silence.
A musical poem born from the Dictionary Journey.
A fusion of words and soul.
