I close my eyes -
now the storm is howling
louder in the mountain

 

 

 

 

Old stump
and shoes filled with the soil
beside young vines

 

 

 

 

Rain clouds.
Crows make nest eggs
by the road

 

 

 

 

A sudden burst
of forest smells.
My soul staggers

 

 

 

 

So tiny is
the forest
church belfry

 

 

 

 

South wind.
Greeting to the sea
in my hair

 

 

 

 

Rain clouds.
Crows make nests
by the road

 

 

 

 

So tiny is
the forest
beneath the church

 

 

 

 

In the chapel
a breeze calms down
the candles' flame

 

 

 

 

Forgotten
on the path of flowers
a snail's and a sea shell

 

 

 

 

Both getting and loosing
a bit, me - and the bloom
of a winter cherry

 

 

 

 

Embraced
an old man and a tree -
watching southward

 

 

 

 

By the boat
anchored in the wind -
autumn leaves
