parting dreams
this spring night
the floating bridge of dreams
broke off
parting with the mountaintop
low-lying clouds in the sky ~Teika
autumn
No trail to follow
where the teacher has wandered off —
the end of autumn

wordless wednesday
autumn
Compared to last year,
this has even more loneliness –
autumn evening.

oh how I wish they would stay
Tu Fu to Tao-Chien Across the Centuries
Gone in a flash the bright flowers.
Old. How I wish they would stay!
Why can’t these present things
Be back in our younger days?
Drinking – sets free the mind
Writing – unfolds the heart
We would meet, Tao, in this thought
Though we cannot meet in time.
~Tu Fu (712-770)
