The path is hidden
by Dharma,
invisible,
but memories of you
lead me onward

100 days…52nd day
We meet and we part,
Coming and going hearts like passing clouds

100 days…51st day
On a pitch-dark night road
I get lost
watching the moon
set behind the faraway mountain

100 days…50th day
The fields in spring time
Lie trailed with mist
And somewhat sadly
In this evening gloam
A bush warbler, sings
~Otomo no Yakamochi*
*cited:
100 days…49th day
rain falls –
a memory of last year
left by a cloud
100 days…48th day
Morning and evening
I gazed at
incense smoke –
drifting,
remembering…
100 days 47th day
In an old temple
deep in Mount Koya,
Kii Province,
I listen to raindrops
falling from a cedar tree.

100 days…46th day
Gloriously
Shines the spring sun
A skylark soars
And sad am I,
Alone with my thoughts
~Man’yoshu*
*cited:
100 days…45th day
up ahead, someone
will be at home
spring morning
100 days…44th day
Morning haze
hides blossoms from the wind
too completely

100 days…43rd day
I am a drop of dew
Hanging from a leaf
Yet, I am not unrestful
For on this branch, I seem to have existed
From before the birth of the world
~Izumi Shikibu
100 days…42nd day
Grasses in a mist
and water flowing silently,
daylight fading
