SILENCE

There is the Hellenic sea listening to us:

seagulls, shores,

ships, chronicle.

My hometown is

just a story

in the silence of centuries.

An old olive tree

told me.

BIRDS

You, always

watching the sky

full of birds.

You, not feeling

the flow of time,

yet knowing

all the old roads.

You must be

a tramp.

The olive branch

that I bring to you,

is a symbol of peace

and freedom...

HAIKU

A bamboo grove

and a nightingales song.

Fuyijama.

Today is a holiday,

cherry trees in blossom

back home.

What a view!

Early snow –

on the Mount Fuyi.

A tired workman

in the rice field

awaiting rain.

The road to you

is full of reed and

wet leaves.

The monlight.

Wild geese cry.

A field under the snow.

I enjoy your

smell and whiteness,

cherry flower.

Snowflake,

you are my only friend

in this snowy night.

How sad

the old tree is

after rain.

No, thats not the linen.

Clear river carries

autumn leaves.
