I stand as though
only I am existing,
in heaven and earth -
in this solitude,
Kannon, you are smiling?
Coming stealthily,
Who is it hitting the temple bell
It is late at night
and time for even the Buddha
to go into dreaming.
Yaichi Aizu
*Kannon-the bodhisattava of compassion, at times depicted as a woman, Guanshi Yin in Chinese which means 'Observing the Cries of The World'
