Frogs Jumping: Reflections on Nature.
Furu ike ya...
kawazu tobikomu...
mizu no oto...
(another Basho.)
(I realize the English will not be perfect 5-7-5. Please excuse.)
An old pond...
A frog jumps in...
The sound...Of the water...
Flowers rise from dead
Winter earth. Rain pours down and
brings us spring again.
The sun burns brightly
Scorching the sands of beaches
Bringing us summer
Autumn winds come forth
Piercing the night air, daring
someone to tame them.
The icy blade slams
against my chest. I fall down,
down to loneliness.
Winter comes, bringing
snow, frozen sheets of ice, and
icy blades galore.
We the seasons four
Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.
Ceaseless life cycle.
