Of a mind to depart,
A bird his former nest
Will always find;
Accustomed to the blossoms
On this evening they are gone…

blossoms in profusion
‘This all the same-
Blossoms in profusion
Everywhere;
And on every mountain’s edge
White clouds hang.
~The Monk En’i*
*cited:
on blossoms have I thought
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…

summer’s ghost
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.
