Tanka...Raindrop 雨しづく a10

雨しづく 我をうつして 束の間の 仮の宿かな ... こぼるるままに

a crystal raindrop

mirrors me ...

my sublunary room

for a moment

...until falling

while the mirror reflect

all the time at once

suddenly mind and mirror

melting just a canvas to start

Be the best you can be
Life is amazing

a blink of the eye
later the raindrop falls
SPLASH!

むらさめの　露もまだひぬ　まきの葉に

September rain
makes stones shine
dye fallen leaves variegated
soften a chorus of crickets
irregigate juiceless my heart

盆過ぎも　夏が居座る　雨・台風

通り雨　虹も見せずに　過ぎにけり

こんな日は　キツネが嫁入り　天気雨


降り注ぎ　耳を潤す　セミ時雨

magic rain falling,

smoothing the thirsty mother earth

singing our song

ready to give thanks

tears are dried ...

for something bad ....

my heart is so sensitive ...

calling you to come back

Yesterday's tears are
today's rain
today's smiles are
tomorrow's sunshine
How will you spend tomorrow？

夜もすがら雨にあらはれ御影石　君を映して我をあはれぶ

mirrored in a black granite

purified

by all night rain

... whispering love to me

'black granite'
mirrors our pale faces
moonlit night

Looking deep
Into your eyes
Could see
Treasure tears...
Hidden by your smile...

your absence hurts
fear even waiting for you so
wet crashes
the healing has come
... finish the long journey home

Tanka...Cosmos 秋桜a

盆過ぎて み魂(たま)かなたへ 風しろく 置きのみやげの秋桜（こすもす）そよぎ

Bon passed

spirits left for another world...

cosmos flowers

as parting gifts

whispering in white breeze

※
コスモスの写真はちょうどお盆過ぎの8月21日に撮りました。
Bon is one of the most important events for Japanese Buddhists August 13-15 in many areas.
Seeing-off Bon is Aug 16-18.
It is said the dead spirits descend to this world during the Bon/ Obon period.
I took pictures of  cosmos-flowers  Aug. 21 after Obon.

盆過ぎて み魂(たま)彼岸へ 風しろく しばしの別れ秋桜（こすもす）そよぎ

©豊田 隆志

来月はお彼岸がきます。そのときにまた語り合うことができますね。

Halo of the saint
flowers have fallen
dusk comes earlier…
enthusiasm is fading
berries will be ripe

Spirits whispering
from the unknown source
should be the last time we meet
a reminder of life
