may also be pleasant

but evening light remains

Beneath a tree,

autumn wind shows itself

in a single leaf ~Junkaku*

journey piled on journey

Journey piled on journey

At a distance of a thousand years

Will you see?

From the pines of Sue,

To the living pine groves

upper branches

 

The fall of leaves

has left some autumn

on the upper branches

autumn

No trail to follow

where the teacher has wandered off —

the end of autumn

wordless wednesday

a wanderer

Going through the gate,

I am also a wanderer

this twilight in autumn.

autumn’s messenger

What you want to acquire, you should dare to acquire by any means.  What you want to see, even though it is with difficulty, you should see.  You should not let it pass, thinking there will be another chance to see it or to acquire it. It is quite unusual to have a second chance to materialize your desire.
