Excerpts

Lotus is at ease
When water dark and muddy
Tomorrow it blooms
Haiku Soul

Contemplative state
Mind in posture of balance
Like a graceful swan

Contemplative state
Mind in posture of balance
Like a graceful swan
Haiku Soul

Frog on lily pad
Calmly sitting motionless
Perfect floating perch
Haiku Soul

Cherry blossom tree
Their flowers ephemeral
Falling on the ground
