The dark sky dulls my dreamy mind,
Diaries of Court Ladies of Old Japan
The down-dripping rain lingers–
O my tears down falling, longing after thee! ~The diary of Murasaki Shikibu

Weekend skies with Hammad Rais
Beyond the clouds
My gaze goes on and on;
The endless sea:
What lies beyond is unknown
As my gloomy thoughts…

Weekend skies with Hammad Rais
Even in our wandering journey,
The lonely moon accompanies us lighting us from the sky
The waning moon I used to gaze at in the Royal City. ~The Sarashina Diary*

those clouds forming glandly
high in the sky
but owe it all
to passing winds ~Issa

sun setting’s farewell
to summer’s billowing clouds –
silent turbulence
