Showers

*

Snow

A thousand snow-flakes,
sent from the moon to the lake
like little kisses.

*

Rain

The rain is dancing
on the skylight through the night.
We are wrapped in sleep.

*

Blossom

The cherry blossom
of your face on the pillow,
scented, resplendent.

One Drop of Rain

If one still drop of rain contains a rose
and if my eye encompasses your face,
a secret crystal must exist that holds
the sparkling galaxy in one round space.

The breathtaking photograph I found as an illustration
for the haiku inspired another poem many years later!
