Art is a journey into the most unknown thing of all - oneself. Nobody knows his own frontiers… I don’t think I’d ever want to take a road if I knew where it led.

Louis Kahan
    A brilliant full moon!
On the matting of my floor
Shadows of pines fall.
    kari gane ya nokoru mono mina utsukushiki
*
wild geese——
all that remains
beautiful
    ko no ha furi yamatsu isogu na isugu na yo
*
leaves falling
never-ending
yet why, so fast
    

.ざぶざぶと暖き雨ふる野分哉
zabu-zabu to nukuki ame furu nowaki kana


splish-splash
a warm rain falls…
autumn gale

    

.夕蝉の翌ない秋をひたと鳴く
yû semi no yoku nai aki wo hita to naku


evening cicada—
a last loud song
to autumn

bluejaysings:


Chilling autumn rain…
The moon, too bright
for showers,
slips from their fingers

    White dew —
One drop
On each thorn
    struck by a
raindrop, snail
closes up
