We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place, we stay there, even though we go away. And there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there.

lens-artists challenge: path

Meeting on the path:
But I cannot clearly know
If it was he,
Because the midnight moon
In a cloud had disappeared

Oh leaves, ask the wind which of you

weekly photo challenge: moving water

Every time
These thoughts emerge at
Izumi River,
Awaiting the moon;
There was one who crossed before…

faceless winter

Though I would hide it,
In my face it still appears–
My fond, secret love.
And now he questions me:
“Is something bothering you?”

Basho

The peaks of clouds

Have crumbled into fragments–

The moonlit mountain.
