day-light moon
silently searching
world healing
day-light moon
haiku
a bicycle built for two
“on your left,” I heard
on a bicycle built for two
youth passing me…bye
beyond
a lightning flash
soaked in green glaze
far beyond the field
~Kuroda Momoko (trans: M Ueda, Far Beyond the Field)
cloud gate
I cannot speak of
Yudono, but see how wet
My sleeve is with tears.
~Matsuo Basho, The Narrow Road to Oku (trans: Donald Keene)
walking on…
Walking on, walking on,
things pondered about — springtime,
where has it gone to?
~Buson (Y Sawa & E Shiffert, Haiku Master Buson)
searching…
I’ve forgotten the trail
marked out while searching for you
in places I’ve never been
pond reflection
of this world
or the world beyond? on the sea
the sunset glow
~Tsuda Kiyoko (M Ueda, Far Beyond the Field)
thoughts
I droop my head —
Thoughts over the withered moor
past and present
~Enomoto Seifu, (M. Ueda, Far Beyond the Field)
one frozen lake
one moon
and one frozen lake
sparkling at each other ~Hashimoto Takako (cited: M Ueda, Far Beyond the Field)
winter’s ice
in the mosquito’s
buzz, a thread of thoughts
begins in my mind ~Takeshita Shizunojo 1887-1951 (M Ueda, Far Beyond the Field)
winter
winter has begun–
trees alive and dead
indistinguishable ~ Mitsuhashi Takajo (M Ueda, Far Beyond the Field)
time
time, an illusion
of fragmented memories
pursuing refuge
Who would fare better in the world of fitful time? Those who have seen the future and live only one life? Or those who have not seen the future and wait to live life? Or those who deny the future and live two lives?
~Alan Lightman, Einstein’s Dreams, pg. 68
