Oriental selection

 

 

Bare winter branches

beneath the moon wreathed in mist.

Seem to bloom again.

 

Echoes of memories foresee

future in the past.

 

xxxxx

 

 

 

In the soft moonlight

blossoms from the cherry tree

 

Scattered on the ground.

purpose served, hey leave the stage

Autumn will grant them honour.

 

xxxxx

 

 

 

Sharp edged shadows cast

by the brilliant winter moon

on the earth below.

 

Poetry written on the snow

only lovers understand

 

xxxxx

 

 

 

The wind stirs the reeds

making music by moonlight.

Plaintive melodies

 

the wind needs no audience.

the moon listens silently.

 

xxxxx

 

 

 

The moon my lantern

the scent of blossom lingers

The moon lights my way

I walk beside the water

yesterday is gone.

 

xxxx

 

 

 

Sun sets, moon rises

constant repetition

She follows her lord

 

xxxx

 

 

 

Night without moonlight

restless spirits walk abroad

seeking solace.

 

xxxx

 

 

 

Moonlight soothes my soul

as I meditate alone .

Trees whisper to me.

 

xxxxx

 

 

 

A pond holds the moon

why should the mind of man do less

achieving stillness

 

 

 

xxxxx

 

 

 

Gently moonlight falls

like silver rain silently

lotus blossom sing.
