glowing leaves
fallen to the ground
like those words of old–
glowing leaves

light remains…in the leaves
the sun goes down—
but evening light remains
in the leaves

still autumn is here…
the sun beats down
but still autumn is here
in morning dew

into my heart…
I was alone on a sunny shore
by the forest’s pale blue lake,
in the sky floated a single cloud
and on the water a single isle.
The ripe sweetness of summer dripped
in beads from every tree
and straight into my open heart
a tiny drop ran down.

fluttering
leaf alone, fluttering
alas, leaf alone,
fluttering…
fluttering down the wind

autumn dusk
being alone
may also be pleasant

separates my hermitage
the pile of
fallen leaves
separates my hermitage
further and further
from the world of woe.
