Haiku: Clarity

Steps to the summit
Winter on the horizon –
all things become clear

Haiku: Unmoved

Morphing shapes of cloud
Animals across the sky
The mind is unmoved

Matsuo Basho was one of the most famous Zen poets of Japan.
Matsuo Basho — Buddhism now

Two swans through the mist;
drops hang from dank bare branches
Crow’s caw breaks the gloom
