Ah i can imagine, and what a most perfect picture to go with this exquisite monoku aka saraku. So beautiful and so deep the way youv written this. It’s unbelievable how time flies. And now its already end of january. And yes theres this unbending silence echoing throughout. I love this. And felt so much reading your work as always. Sending you light always.

January has been mild though slightly cold. But we have a proverb that February will fill our wells. I have quite a large one, not for drinking. Your poem is elegant and full of imagery.

pretty mild here except for about ten days in mid January...brutally cold but now we're experiencing 'fake spring' and early too. Thanks for your visit and kind words about my poem, have a splendid day, Sara

The wind we have been getting here would certainly put ripples on that glasslike water.
