in a world

without borders 
dandelions

taking the shape of the sky skeleton trees

morning quiet --
stirring the sunlight
into my coffee

flying eagle the echoes of mountains

windblown leaves
turning the pages of 
old photo albums

cold night the absence of Basho's moon

feeling
the roughness of pine cones
end of summer

drifting clouds
songs of birds changing
with the wind

travel notes
Kyoto's autumn leaves
fall from the pages

winter stars
the thoughts of you
longer than the night

scented breeze the silence of falling blossoms

breeze ripples the pond my name on your lips

unfinished diary
our story ends
too soon 

old calendar
I make a paper boat
and let it drift away

lingering dewdrops
first tea of the year
with old friends

along the road
into the mist
another journey begins

broken mirror
picking up the pieces
of me

first sunrise
the warmth of your hand
in mine
