CD : 528 Basho 6


Basho's own death poem is thought provoking and enlightening:
tabi ni yande  yume wa kareno wo  kake-meguru
ill on a journey
my dreams start to wander
across dessicated fields
© Matsuo Basho (Tr. Chèvrefeuille)
will there be any -
words left when breath becomes slow
so many already
some shared, some read, some blue too
the journey continues now...

    Sometimes silence says a lot and the mystery of the hereafter is always hopeful
