weekly photo challenge: relic

a broken dream–

where do they go

the butterflies?

Gone down, I thought–

’til the moon emerged  again

between clouds

weekly photo challenge: twist

For cicada

the branches of a single tree

are a forest grove.

OLD FORM

Did Chuang Chou dream

he was a butterfly,

Or the butterfly

that it was Chuang Chou?

In one body’s

metamorphoses,

All is present,

infinite virtue!

betweennessblog

You surely know

Fairlyland’s oceans

Were made again

a limpid brooklet,

Down at Green Gate

the melon gardener

Once used to be

Marquis of Tung-ling?

Wealth and honour

were always like this:

You strive and strive,

but what do you seek?

weekly photo challenge: on the move

In my secret heart

I give thanks

To my children

On a frosty night
