Tiny Fireballs

Tiny fireballs

Peer down through tall canopies

Campfire smoke rises

When Rain Knocks

Rain knocks on the door

Ears closely follow the sound

Dreams look for shelter

As the Sphere Dances

Summer starts with flair

As the sphere dances with feet

World springs up once more

Fireflies

Night garden

Petals alight

Flight of fireflies

Seven Horses

Stretched bow in rainlight

Seven horses ride the sky

With rain they vanish

Stuck Westward

midday sky waits

as the fiery orb drifts on—

stuck in the north

Love Struck

moon peers down

fragrance of jasmine

love struck

Unbroken Sleep

full night

unbroken sleep

spell finally uncast

Too Early

dawn reveals

shriller birds

too early

Nine Clouds II

nine clouds

summer heat

another me

Nine Clouds I

nine clouds

monsoon rain

me

Fire Licks

fire licks darkness

casting shadows

smoky fragrance

Two Stars

two stars

cloudy night

raindrops

A Croak

crescent smile

veiled sky

a croak

Moonlit

moonlit night

silver path

splash

Thick Curtain

rain at 2am

the sound of a thick curtain

outside the dark room

Splattering Rain

splattering sound

dawn soaked in rain outside 

birds softly waking

Sombre Day

clouds slowly descend

touching the silent treetops

all remain sombre

Silence Ensues

frogs call for the rain

Kuraokami answers

croaking falls silent

A Sudden Rain

sudden loud chirping

restless commotion in flight

splatters outside
