In this spring’s night,
Yesterday still feels present
In the light of dawn.
To what region of clouds
Has the wandering moon found home?
autumn
my prayer, seeds of…
The autumn flowers
of my prayer bear
seeds of paradise

I think of you on such a night
The autumn wind is light,
The autumn moon is bright;
Fallen leaves gather but then disperse,
A cold crow roosts but again he stirs;
I think of you, and wonder when I’ll see you again?
At such an hour, on such a night, cruel is love’s pain?

a single leaf
Beneath a tree,
autumn wind shows itself
in a single leaf ~Junkaku*

chocolate flows in deep dark sweet waves,
a river to ignite my mind and alert my senses
52 weeks photo challenge: week 14 – winter
Thus far autumn has offered us a beautiful transition with her just-right temperatures and multi-colored landscapes. In the past, it was not uncommon for her to allow winter a brief visit during the first half of November…but not this year. So this image submitted for The Girl Who Dreams Awake is of winter’s past.
journey piled on journey
Journey piled on journey
At a distance of a thousand years
Will you see?
From the pines of Sue,
To the living pine groves

The fall of leaves
has left some autumn
on the upper branches
autumn
No trail to follow
where the teacher has wandered off —
the end of autumn
