Spring in the distance- Hot sake against the chill. Kimono open.
Spring in the distance- Hot sake against the chill. Kimono open.
In the spring of life- The peal of bells brings delight. Lotus floats away, Borne on the winds of sorrow. Lost, the sands that pass unseen.
Grass grows among cracks, Wind blowing moves leaves and chaff. Once a green sea gone. Rolling thunderheads of black- One voice against future tide.
Willow in blossom. Butterfly spreads wings in air, Dreaming of springtime.
Ripe blossoms open- Darkness retreats into day. Thin kimono bare.
Sweet wind upon air- Jewels cast about the ground. Magnolia opens.
Spring parasol wide– Silk rustles supple mistress. Cherry blossums sweet.
Light snow falls on leaves Sparrows ruffle their feathers Frost and flower dance
