amid dewdrops
of this dewdrop world
a shoe lost
it’s a dewdrop world
surely it is…
yes…but

of time forever gone
stands between us now

If I should live long,
Then perhaps the present days
May be dear to me,
Just as past time filled with grief
Comes quietly back in thought.

Spring has its hundred flowers,
Autumn its moon,
Summer has its cooling breezes,
Winter its snow.
If you allow no idle concerns
To weight on your heart,
Your whole life will be one
Perennial good season. ~The Golden Age of Zen
Though days pass
And others may forget
I can never lose the thought
That meeting in the evening
Of an Autumn day. ~The Dairy of Izumi Shikibu (cited: Diaries of Court Ladies of Old Japan)
