Tanka...Memory Dec.22nd.2018

めくるめく一過とならむ時ふれば顧(かへり)て君に幸多かれと

a dazzling memory

everything fading away

as time passes

I look back and sigh

wishing you all the best

Tanka ... The Moon お月さま a201901

叢雲をさき憂ひほどきつ冬空に久方の月うかび光(て)る

through a rift

in gathering clouds ...

solving my cares

the lustrous moon

rises in the winter sky

※今夜、久しぶりに月を見ることができ感激しました。

I was touched with tonight moon very much 

because it came out for the first time in many days.

The waves will continue on the beach
The moon will continue to come from
behind the clouds
The lotus blossoms will continue to bloom
in transit glory
The universe will continue on, long after,
we are only dust

< go with the flow >

never stop the thing you do
just never be restricted to one thing
Just my thoughts

©jim my


take pictures as the ice melts away
as the as the sun reflects

upon the beauty that is all around us
Sometimes that we cant see immediately

Is captured in pictures


©jim my


The other night

I awoke

In the dark


with a light on so bright

It was the Moon

Reflecting the beautiful

Light
That shines on all of The world

Tanka...Tuesday Bench 火曜ベンチ Dec.18. 2018

一閃に時の旅人舞ひ降りて陽だまりの光の子とあそぶ

a flash ...
a time traveler alights
on the bench,
playing with photons
in the sunny spot


※　About the photograph, I took this at the foot of Mt. Chokai in October.

写真は10月下旬に鳥海山の麓で撮りました。

Give thanks
For the new dawning
Life is full of wonders
Let yourself be free

The light that traveled so far from the Sun
Shines
Makes our surroundings Glow

on the bench
Time rewound
Happy and sad moments

<<On a poet’s Tuesday bench>>

I’d just made my way downhill and rested on the bench at the foot of the mountain. I breathed slowly in and out, in and out … to calm down and recreate both soul and body.

„May I take place on this bench too?“,

a warm and gentle voice asked. As I opened my eyes an elder man seemed to step right out of the sunlight. After a slight bow he sat down beside me. We didn’t change many words but on the other hand we shared our silence and I don’t know how our thoughts. As he‘d got up again and thanked me for this time together I asked:

„Will we meet again? And what’s your name?“ – „What’s a name?“,

he replied,

„you’ll know me when we meet again, won’t you?“.

A little bit frightened I realized that he didn’t move his lips. He passed away into the bright light of fall and I heard his voice:

one day we’ll share
another experience
in another time

Akita International Haiku/ Tanka 秋田インターナショナル俳句短歌 Dec.2018

枝（え）にとまる疎らの熟柿うかび光（て）る… 朝日満ちくる冬枯れの野に

sparse ripe persimmons at twigs

float and brighten in air

through

the rising morning sun…

the desolate winter fields
