Shadow,  Why you should ever be there, No clap, No smile, but such a tireless grit. No further ado, Pokes me behind this world I care, A “Snap!” Breaks it into the illusion of every seamless slit.  ao

The Zelkova & Maple How robust, gnarled trunk thou hast to stand in a bench, To bear thousands of winds and snows up until today. High in the sky was thy uppermost green given up, To the bless of shining and turning seasons away.   O behold you now A slender queen maple wind gently around thy trunk. Loftiness but little pleasure shared deep in the gulch, Natural grace is await lonely glittering to be glimpsed.   ao

Good people know how to use language, formalities, and socialisation, While others practice languaging, etiquette, and communication skills. One can even further step to the scent of what lies and goes behind.   Integrity must reside in sorrow and separation, Beauty and happiness felt in ripples or ills, Things precious come round on such an ever-so-slight wind. A practice of practising language, formalities, socialisation, A simple “zazen” or sitting still, That allows you to see what lies and goes behind.

Enjoy a moment when the futile turn fertile. Do not judge how it comes by. They said it's Mark Twain's, "FORGIVE quickly, KISS slowly,  LOVE truly, LAUGH uncontrollably and... never REGRET anything that  makes you  SMILE."  :-) ao Nov. 2014, at the deserted end of the railroad, Nishinomiya

I seek to cure what’s deep inside, Frightened of this thing I have become, I bless the rains down on me in Mt Takao, Gonna take some time to do the thing I never done for her. I bless the rains down on me in Mt Takao, I bless the rains down, Wash me, Lord, wash me to turn. ao
