Carpe Diem
March 15th prompt, #145 Nehane (Nirvana Ceremony, Buddha's Nirvana Anniversary)
through nature watching
in spring morning: Buddha's way:
self-discovery
not questioning truth
surrendered by spring pure light
path to Buddha's shrine
near Buddha's temple
in spring light: blossoming trees:
Zen and poetry
NaHaiWriMo
March 15th prompt - paper
paper-thin spring shrine
in mid-March sunlight and breeze -
the first verdant tree
The serene spring
is rising from the ashes of last year
with shy steps
and growing strenght
from the awaking earth.
The small grasses
in caressing breeze,
buds and blossoms
in verdant trees
are now lighting my heart.
Have a nice weekend!
I am so looking forward to surrendering to spring's pure light... nirvana!!
