The Sound Of Water

Sitting in Solitude

For many years I have dug in the ground, Seeking the blue skies Time after time Gaining only obstructions In my heart one night In the midst of the darkness I kicked up a piece of tile. Just letting go I realized the already empty bones Are struck into bits. – Muso Soseki
