None goes along this way but I,
This autumn eve.

weekly photo challenge: transition
The sprouting grass waiting for spring,
and the grass that begins to wither, were once the same
wild grass of the moor.
Sooner or later
they surely meet with autumn
and end in the season of weariness.

depth of the ravine
Who knows
that in the depth of the ravine
of the mountain of my hidden heart
a firefly of my love is aflame.

being alone
may also be pleasant –

This dark autumn
old age settles down on me
like heavy clouds or birds

the thunderstorm breaks up,
one tree lit by setting sun,
a cicada cry

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

somehow getting by
Today, today too,
somehow getting by these days, still
living in a haze.

for you who
rarely visit,
though you have already arrived,
may the early evening storm
not blow so hard!

let’s go…view blossoms
Children,
let’s go to the mountain
to view violets.
If they scatter away tomorrow,
what can we do?
