At a loss,
To times gone past
My thoughts return;
Gloomily on blossoms have I thought,
This spring gone by.

Monochrome Madness: 2-20
Alongside the path
Fresh water flows, and
In the willow’s shade
Just for a little while
Would I take my ease…
~The Monk Saigyo*

Brighter here,
paler there, the leaves
after scattered showers

every single trace has gone
But rarely
Did he visit-now
‘Tis all in the past, and
Since then in the garden
Every single trace has gone.

Ah, for blossoms-
to bring gusts of wind
