Return

When I sleep, I'll be
a visitor to the land
my heart never left.

#thoughts

Una magnifica vanessa Io, Aglais io, sta posata su fiori di senecione.

Una fugace visione di pochi istanti, sono riuscito a scattare poche foto, mentre ero colto da meraviglia per la bellezza delle sue ali.

eyes closed
amidst summer grass,
bees buzzing

蜂の音 (hachi no oto)

Executioner

Fate wields a keen axe,
but, it falls when we forget,
we sharpened the blade.

the dawn wind
scatters red plum petals
on scant snow

icy puddles,
touched by the chill breath
of cold night

Ambition

We will find peace, in
the arms of oblivion,
or our next life's dream.
