Thoughts in a quiet night


front of my bed the gleam of moonlight
make it look like frost on the floor.
I look up and watch the moonlight,
lowered his head and look back to the country of the past.

engraving on a mountain monastery


Bivouac night at the monastery in the mountains
reach out my hand, grab the constellations
I dare not speak aloud
I'm afraid to wake up who is above the sky.

Three five seven words


Shining Light wind autumn moon autumn
The fallen leaves are piled up and then they go away
The crow and then crouches
shake And when I think I know the day when I can see you
At this moment, on this night, are difficult feelings

Winter

Even that old wall
even that skinny dog \u200b\u200b
also freeze in the bucket
enjoy the sun this morning.

Under the moon, a lone party

Sitting there among the flowers, with the jug of wine -,
party alone, without of close friends -,
I raise my mug and I urge the moonlight. Together
shade Then, there will be three,
since the moon will not be denied drinking.
And while the shadow will follow my body,
Meanwhile, at his side, I will escort you to the moon.
The way of gaiety ends in spring;
as the moon floats in my hand, here and there.
And he startled the shadow, trembling, to my dance.
sober, we live in a common joy, then when
, drunkenness, everyone scatters.
three of us, together forever, wandering without suffering,
Finally, in the distance, we are in the Milky Way. "
