Almost Full Moon

Indigo Moon

forest gate
the ancient scent 
of pine

snowflakes 
trees glowing
with light

garden temple
painted dragons
from the sky

cool breeze
bamboo leaves
flickering silence

graveyard stone
the light touch
of falling petals

seed pods 
a monk bends
to the earth

walking in clouds
a place to rest
on Mt Yoshida

indigo moon
trickling over 
the waterfall
