Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #116 Renga With … waiting for the full moon
in nooks and corners
cold remains:
flowers of the plum © Buson
spring breeze toys with my jacket
gilling the folds with winter
a dandelion
now and then interrupting
the butterfly’s dream © Chiyo-Ni
meadow grasses gently sway
on the edges of my dreams
the thunderstorm having cleared up
the evening sun shines on a tree
where a cicada is chirping © Shiki
the laziness of summer
encompassing the last light
ancient warriors ghosts
mists over the foreign highlands –
waiting for the full moon © Chèvrefeuille
this midsummer’s night I too
await the goddess
the autumn wind:
thickets and fields also,
Fuha Barrier © Basho
leaves swirl in the shallow waters
bumping the rock of Fuha
simply trust:
do not also the petals flutter down,
just like that © Issa
Autumn’s colorful dance
will give way to a new spring
