Every single thing changes and is changing always in this world. Yet with the same light the moon goes on shining.
SaigyōI'd like to divide
myself in order to see,
among these mountains,
each and every flower
of every cherry tree.

Now seen...now gone,
The butterfly flits in and out
Through fence-hung flowers;
But a life lived so close to them
I envy...though it's here and gone.

Limitations gone:
Since my mind fixed on the moon,
Clarity and serenity
Make something for which
There's no end in sight.

Returning to where
It used to see blossoms,
My mind, changed,
Will stay on at Yoshino...
Home now, and see anew.

Last year, Yoshino,
I walked away bending branches
To point me to blossoms--
Which now are everywhere and I can
Go where I've never been before.

Tightly held by rocks
Through winter, the ice today
Begins to come undone:
A way-seeker also is the water,
Melting, murmuring from the moss.

Today's satori:
Such a change of mind would
Not exist without
My lifelong habit of having
My mind immersed in blossoms.
Tags: buddhism
Beyond this life and
This world I'll have it til
My heart's content:
The bright moon that passed over
The horizon before I had my fill.

Kevään kukkien
aikaan toivomme ettei
olisi yötä,
syksyllä kuutamossa,
ettei päivä koittaisi.
