After a long nap, the cat yawns, rises, and goes out looking for love

Blossoms at night, and the faces of people moved by music.

Un mundo

que sufre

bajo un manto de flores

Huye el rocío.

En este mundo sucio

no hago yo nada.

- Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828)

This world of dew

is a world of dew,

and yet, and yet.

—Kobayashi Issa, written shortly after the death of his daughter.

"… a dew drop on the tip of a blade of grass will quickly vanish at sunrise … human life (is) like a dew drop. It is short, limited, and brief; it is full of suffering, full of tribulation. This, one should wisely understand. One should do good and live a pure life; for none who is born can escape death.” (Bhikkhu Bodhi, In the Buddha’s Words, p.206)

Issa comments on his poem 'I knew that it was no use to cry, that water once flown past the bridge does not return and scattered blossoms are gone beyond recall. Yet try as I would, I could not, simply cut the binding cord of human love'

From the book, A Buddhist Grief Observed by Guy Newland:

To be utterly heart-wrecked and, at the same time, strangely grateful for some lost grace - this is what it will always mean to be a human who loves another mortal.

This morning,

      no doubt,

          a solitary leaf fell in silence...
