slowly passing days,
their echoings are heard
here in Kyoto

yesterday ended,
today again there will be an end –
spring is going

spring is going…
color and fragrance
of a figure seen leaving–
the going of spring

memories…blossom
a child’s smile…silent
resoundings within the heart,
memories…blossom
deep…into spring
chasing a butterfly
deep into the spring woods,
I am lost

to look at flowers
with feeble steps
the old man
totters by–
to look at flowers

just once more, say, “flowers!”
once again, child,
just once more,
say, “flowers!”
in that little voice.

buds of spring
I never thought to throw
the fresh buds of spring
into this smoke–
and see it rising
pale into the sky

purple fading away
the going of spring!
the purple fading away
from Tsukuba mountain

passing through
passing through the world
indeed this is just
a shelter from the shower.
