Your eyes speak volumes
I feel the sea rush in when
my ears fail to hear.

an unfinished glass
beside her lifeless body-
I water her rose
beside her lifeless body-
I water her rose
camping at the lake
a treetop cradles the moon
sleeping with the stars
a treetop cradles the moon
sleeping with the stars
leaves abandon trees
empty branches wave farewell--
you moved out today
empty branches wave farewell--
you moved out today
after morning rain
sailing in a newborn stream
very clean garbage
sailing in a newborn stream
very clean garbage
A silver lantern
Gentle breeze on the water
Precious reflections
Gentle breeze on the water
Precious reflections
The moon is broken
Into several sharp pieces
On rippled water
Into several sharp pieces
On rippled water
River flowing past
dawn breaks grey stones budding trees
trout rise to dry fly
dawn breaks grey stones budding trees
trout rise to dry fly
Slow shallow waters
splash a small shovel to shore,
sandy castles gone.
splash a small shovel to shore,
sandy castles gone.
Waves bring messages,
Mankind waits along the beach,
Those of peace still drown.
Mankind waits along the beach,
Those of peace still drown.
alone the swan drifts
in the shadow of the waves ?
the oar drips water
in the shadow of the waves ?
the oar drips water
A flashbulb sky roars
Iced rain scratches at paned glass
Soft steam over tea
Iced rain scratches at paned glass
Soft steam over tea
azure horizon
reflects in ocean mirror
strolling silhouettes
reflects in ocean mirror
strolling silhouettes
Rays of your essence
Stream through dark shadows... falling
On my face and soul
Stream through dark shadows... falling
On my face and soul
Sailboats wrapped in snow
sigh softly and ache for spring,
dreaming of the sea.
sigh softly and ache for spring,
dreaming of the sea.
A tear; one dark stream
Discovers flimsy patchwork
Beautifully wrapped
Discovers flimsy patchwork
Beautifully wrapped
Perching on the log
grains of sand by river side
as fine as his life.
grains of sand by river side
as fine as his life.
faster and faster
ice skaters circle the pond
keeping pace with time
ice skaters circle the pond
keeping pace with time
the dogwood is dry
from the hard sun of summer
her leaves look for rain
from the hard sun of summer
her leaves look for rain
an autumn morning
the stream drifts languid and crisp
the old turtle sleeps
the stream drifts languid and crisp
the old turtle sleeps
cherry blossoms bloom
murmuring waters reflect
willful ignorance
murmuring waters reflect
willful ignorance
Rain on the water
A symphony of the new
Rippling chords, rebirth.
A symphony of the new
Rippling chords, rebirth.
Hours of packing books.
Nearby, an open dumpster
glistens in the rain.

glistens in the rain.
Sunset at the beach
waves against the rocky shore
sand between the cracks
waves against the rocky shore
sand between the cracks
never so serene
the surface of a small pond
six ducks still in flight
the surface of a small pond
six ducks still in flight
Snow tip mountains breathe
Brown bears wander paths for food
Shadows light a pond.
Brown bears wander paths for food
Shadows light a pond.
Black skies cry to me
I hear cold rain trickle down
wet night harmony
I hear cold rain trickle down
wet night harmony
I have a gold heart
pumping blood rivers on which
no doldrums can float
pumping blood rivers on which
no doldrums can float
Angry words are like
A drop of ink in water
Cannot be undone
A drop of ink in water
Cannot be undone
sweet and persistent
river of skin across bone
wrestling in the night
river of skin across bone
wrestling in the night
ripples on the sand
a holiday ebbs away
into the ocean
a holiday ebbs away
into the ocean
sakura trees bloom
on banks of kanda river~~
fragrant blossoms fall
on banks of kanda river~~
fragrant blossoms fall
wasps and hummingbirds
spar in contentious battle
for sugar water
spar in contentious battle
for sugar water
sharp rocked river bank
blackberry thorns scratch the sky
ducklings sculpt smooth glass
blackberry thorns scratch the sky
ducklings sculpt smooth glass
Crisp rain water falls
Into a brown wood bucket
Tea leaves soak inside.

Tea leaves soak inside.
Bright white moon still climbs
Green fishing boats line the shore
Blue waves crash nearby.
