How joyous and kind!
In my next life, let me be
a butterfly afield.

in my next life, let me be…
nature
within each…grow richer
with each lightning flash,
each roll of thunder, me and
the world grow richer

snowy white dew
snowy white dew–and
above the potato fields,
the River of Heaven

this, too, is karma
under the shady trees
resting with a butterfly–
this, too, is karma

light spring rain
In a light spring rain
a discarded letter blows
through a bamboo grove

tulips blossom
a world of trials,
and if the tulip blossoms,
it simply blossoms
flower gazing
in the midst of this world
we stroll along the edge of hell
gazing at flowers
~Issa

blown softly away
Blown softly away
in rustling breezes, spring leaves
fields of new grasses

My spring is just this:
a single bamboo shoot
a willow branch

the light of a candle
is transferred to another candle –
spring twilight

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