Islands all around,
each with its pine trees, and the wind--
how cool its sound!
-Shiki

|
The blue heron speaks,
you are laughing to the rain!
I know where I am.
|
|
The old pine tree
speaks divine wisdom;
the secret bird
manifests
eternal truth.
-Zenrin-Kushu

|
| One apple blossom!
This place singing with the spring,
recreating me. |

|
The bridge in winter,
the sun laughing with the tides
understanding them.
|
Walking by seashore
seagulls sand and suddenly
plants on mossy rocks.
-Carlos Fleitas

|
|
|
Gusts of ocean wind
wander this deserted beach
drifting all to one.
-James W. Hackett

|
|
Shadows at the path.
We are drifting with this place,
the edge of the sun. |
