Gold Kinkaku-ji
The visitors should look
at
Tea pavilion
A calligraphy
Hung in the tokonoma
Silence at its’ best
Water rushes down
The crevisses and over
rocks
To rest in the pond
While we are sleeping
The mind keeps on
wandering
Through the universe
Kinkaku-ji (金閣寺), is a temple
in Kyoto, literally "Temple of the Golden Pavilion").
Tokonoma (床の間) is a special
corner or recessed space as big as a wardrobe in a Japanese style room for
flowers (Ikebana) or calligraphy.
I love that third one! :)
ReplyDeleteI especially enjoyed your last haiku though all are truly beautiful and so are your wonderful illustrations .. I love "to sleep, perhaps to dream". Bastet
