our life in this world –
to what shall i compare it?
it’s like an echo
resounding through the mountains
and off into the empty sky

end of semester, winter meditation
everything that was
has vanished from my aged heart
leaving not a trace

winter, to see every cherry tree
i’d like to divide
myself in order to see,
among these mountains,
each and every flower
of every cherry tree.

winter sun, end of semester
Coming, going, the waterfowl
Leaves not a trace.
Nor does it need a guide

invisible snow, the path
the path is hidden
by snow,
invisible,
but thoughts of you
lead me onward.
