Sweet and sad
like love overwhelmed
with long sighs,
out of the depths of the willow
little by little
the moon appears ~Yosano Akiko

Purple butterflies
Fly at night through my dreams.
Butterflies, tell me,
have you seen in my village
the falling flowers of the wisteria? ~Yosano Akiko*

wpc: shadow
I have the delusion
that you are with me
as I walk through the fields
of flowers, under the moon.

thursday’s special: pick a word in feburary – y2
Sweet and sad
like love overwhelmed
with long sighs,
out of the depths of the willow
little by little
the moon appears.

I found myself drawn, not to this tree, but to the shadows playing upon its trunk. Image submitted in response to Lost in Translation’s photo challenge.

hope, my heart
Is it because you always hope, my heart,
that I always light a lamp
in the orange twilight?
