Eternity
Inspired by the well known Bashō Haiku.
Eternity
The pond ripples lie.
What is seen,
What is not seen,
In the autumn moon’s light?
On the surface:
A brilliant eternity,
Circles within circles.
Yet, what is in the space beneath,
But dark trembling,
Then silence?
More.
There must be
something
more,
in the
silence.
