Bill Creek, Sandia Mountains

A butterfly 

from back to front

fluttering

Santoka Taneda

 Bill Creek, Sandia Mountains

searching for what

I walk in the wind

Santoka Taneda

No path but this one
I walk alone

Santoka Taneda

spring Sandia Mountians

Around me all grasses
every one blooming

Santoka Taneda

Anderson Field Albuquerque

The sun at its most intense
one leaf falls

Santoka Taneda

sunset Florence Oregon fall 2014

Once you die
weeds rain falls 

Santoka Taneda

the small Buddha statue
rained on for the sake of human beings

Santoka Taneda

cherry blossoms
at their peak
a prison

Santoka Taneda

springtime Albuquerque botanic garden 

obediently blooming
becoming white flowers

Santoka Taneda

using a stone for a pillow
I drift toward the clouds

OF course, all haikus by Santoka Taneda....

leaves of  the tree falls/ I walk on and on
Nepalese lokta paper, Chinese pistache leaves

a soft whirling drunk/ a scattering of leaves
tissue paper, cottonwood branch, graphite

beneath the river of heaven, the drunkard dances
all night
Nepalese lokta paper, black ink, vellum
