dreams

parting dreams

this spring night

the floating bridge of dreams

broke off

parting with the mountaintop

low-lying clouds in the sky ~Teika

A broken dream –

where do they go

the butterflies?

I can no longer tell dream from reality.

Into what world shall I awake

from this bewildering dream?
