After I'm Gone
Fading from this earth I am
A mere shadow in the sky.
As my image disappears
Through the white clouds flying high.
Do not weep because you see
In your heart with you I stay,
Locked within your memory.

Of All Things That FadeOf all things that fade
you stayed the longest.
Not in form...
But, in the way your absence rearranged the air.
Even forgetting remembers you.

Spiral GalaxyLooks like a fiery fractal on a background of black,
Spiraling out from a light blue sphere center,
Full of light, yet also dark. An image of wonder.
A fiery fractal composed of stars and planets,
yet looks so very foreign. A galaxy, not so
unlike our own yet feels rather lonely and forlorn.
Why so much darkness...

Silken ribbon
Quiet morning
On the gravel of the way
Sounds of raindrops
Childhood days
Rays of the sun blocked
July is relatively less hot
Gaze at the clouds in the sky
Bonsai on a windowsill
Fills aroma in the air
Shrill voice
of a long-billed bird
Present layered with past
Hazy window glass
The drenched boy waves
From...

Clouds Blowing in the WindThe clouds are swirling in the wind,
Unique designs appear within.
An artist’s brush could be the air,
For many forms are found up there.
Look up there, it’s a swimming whale,
‘Twill quickly change with the next gale.
It seems so strange to change so much,
It makes it hard to keep in touch.
There’s a ship with the flag raised high,
It...
