Being alone
may also be pleasant –
autumn dusk.

Being alone
may also be pleasant –
autumn dusk.
~Buson (Y Sawa, Haiku Master Buson)

No trail to follow
where the teacher has wandered off —
the end of autumn

Going through the gate,
I am also a wanderer
this twilight in autumn.

Compared to last year,
this has even more loneliness –
autumn evening.

What you want to acquire, you should dare to acquire by any means. What you want to see, even though it is with difficulty, you should see. You should not let it pass, thinking there will be another chance to see it or to acquire it. It is quite unusual to have a second chance to materialize your desire.

Only today left
of spring. My walking
ended it.

Grasses in a mist
and water flowing silently,
daylight fading

Springtime rain!
Almost dark, and yet
today still lingers

the light of a candle
is transferred to another candle –

White blooming plum tree –
since whose time has it been there
just outside the hedge?
