Full moon reflection in the river. Trees on the sides of the river

Full moon reflection in the river. Trees on the sides of the river

Idling by the river
Breathing crisp morning air
New beginning

The glass is a lie
the reflection is real,
the hand an idea
that the nerves only feel.

โ€‹A mountain of thought
a river of mind,
the seeker is all
that the seeker can find.

โ€‹Nothing is solid
nothing is cast,
the dream is the first
and the dream is the last.

the stone
keeps weather

names soften
under rain

but somewhere
the voice that spoke them

is still
crossing the air

like wind
through grass

no one planted

to be held, loved
to quietly disappear
the way winter doesโ€”
in soft surrender to
eternal spring

When it feels
as if dark swathes
separate us

especially then

I hear our song
swaying on the wind,
as if to sayโ€”

there is nothing
that can truly
keep us apart

since a thread
of light & hope
connects our heartsโ€”

singing always

even
in the dark.

Ink on the page,
A name for the cold wind.
The wind does not know.

โ€‹The rose is a sound,
A breath trapped in a word.
The red is a silence.

โ€‹Only the stone stays,
Hard and without a title,
In the nameless light.

This day I choose to growโ€”
from the smallest of seeds
to the tallest of trees,
arms outstretched,
gathering sunlight
in budded fingers.

I will grow beyond fences,
beyond rooftops,
beyond the pain of you.

I took this photo of the carved eaves on the former Main Hall at the Fukagawa Fudล-dล Temple in Koto, Tokyo, Japan. This was before all the major renovations had been completed. I was there during March to celebrate hanami in honor of my granny, who was from Tokyo. These elegant carvings reflect the traditional Inami style indicative of the late Edo/early Meiji period.

In the lower left, elegant swirls of wooden waves surround a bird with wings spread and one leg out, navigating strong forces. Farther right, another bird is tucking into a curl, downward-facing, and riding the front wave with serene grace. The wood is a mixture of warm red and grey tones; its grain is striped and softly weather-worn. Thereโ€™s a mid-line crack running the length of the beam overhead. In the lower right corner, shadows mask the inner temple.

My time at Fukagawa Fudล-dล inspired the haiku from my Tokyo journal:

temple warmth
eaves chant
a whirling sutra

A full moon in the night sky has a rainbow around it. A silhouette of trees can be seen in the foreground.

Tonightโ€™s full moon โœจ
A moonbow or lunar halo,
some say itโ€™s a symbol of hope.

You cannot move the river
no matter how you strain.
So set your heavy shovel down
and learn to love the rain.

The world is not a cold and heavy weight
But light reflecting on a conscious shore
A dream that we collectively create
Where thought is both the key and open door

โ€‹The mountain stands because the soul perceives
A shadow mirrored in the waking eye
The only truth the quiet spirit weaves
Is that the spark within creates the sky

The sun is descending in a bright blue sky before sunset at a frozen snowy lake. The sun is obscured by clouds. 
The clouds are lit in shades of butter yellow, golden yellow and light orange. 
Some cloud along the horizon is a dark grey. 
Silhouettes of trees line the horizon.
