Just the wild mountain, Finn and I on our beloved trail.

 

Praise to the skies:

alone in moonlight early dawn

a cuckoo cries.

Hoyu 1690

 

Clouds drifting off:

the sight of

moonlit heavens.

Kiazan 1786

February's Snow Moon setting

 

Dawn breaks

and blossoms open

gates of Paradise.

Saimu

1679

 

Look straight ahead. What's there?

If you see it as it is

You will never err.

Bassui Tokusho

1387

Crescent with Venus at sunset

 

Ice in a hot world:

my life

melts.

Nakamichi
