Lightning flickers
only in the north:
the moon is overcast.

100 days…78th day
Seventy-eight!
How did
a dew drop last?
100 days…76th day
The path to paradise
is paved with bright
plum petals.

black and white sunday: manipulation
straight out of a full moon
painting…
the geese depart

The fireflies’ light,
How easily it goes on
How easily it goes out again.

I can no longer tell dream from reality.
Into what world shall I awake
from this bewildering dream?

Only today left
of spring. My walking
ended it.

Within but a single night
The cherry blossoms vanish
And are completely gone

weekly photo challenge: pure
Jen’s photo challenge for this week is to “share a photo of something pure…Pure can convey wholesomeness, something undiluted, or simplicity.”
The fireflies light
How easily it goes on
How easily it goes out again

Sunset
100 days…49th day
rain falls –
a memory of last year
left by a cloud
100 days…48th day
Morning and evening
I gazed at
incense smoke –
drifting,
remembering…
a meditative journey
