Carpe Diem No. 875 the journey continues: iris leaves; summer grass


Across the river
The tea hut waits between pines
Cuckoo is greeting


Steam from the tea bowl
Grass tufts dance in the light breeze
Then silence – how long?

Washing the tea bowl
Afternoon retains silence
For a while that is

Donning straw sandals
The wanderer must leave now
Farewell to the crows

 Across the meadow
Resting an eternity
Just for the flowers
