Haiku
mountain
streams—
falling into the silence
of the lake
rainy day—
a bit of cloud on
the windshield
incense
…
the fragrances I left
back at home
all
the colours
of the spring garden…
my flower vase
re-union—
lost in search of the
right words
autumn—
a butterfly kissing
the lone flower
those
brownish clouds—
the shaded reflections of
autumn mountains
dark
clouds—
a plane rushes through
sound of thunder
moonless night—
the jaded lights on
palace pillars
temple chants…
I list my heart’s wishes -
one by one
lightning
those flashes upon the old fort -
camera clicks
jogging together
in the midst of colours
garden song
