risk, Anais Nin

And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to Blossom. 

Li Ching Chao, The sun sets in molten gold

The sun sets in molten gold. 
The evening clouds form a jade disk. 
Where is he? 
Dense white mist envelops the willows. 
A sad flute plays “Falling Plum Blossoms.” 
How many Spring days are left now? 
This Feast of Lanterns should be joyful. 
The weather is calm and lovely. 
But who can tell if it 
Will be followed by wind and rain

Kobayashi Issa, Blossoms at night

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

Let the sun sing in your smile
Let the wind hold your desire
Let your womans voice run through your veins
Let her be your blood don't feel ashamed

She's your home when no one wants you
She'll give you life when you're so tired
She'll ease your fears ah when you're a stranger
She's born to give faith to you
Oh, just to you

You're just a man on death's highways
It's life you owe you're here to praise it
If love flows your way then be a river
And when it dries just stand there and shiver

Oh, let the sun sing in your smile
Let the wind hold your desire
And let your womans voice run through your veins
Let her be your blood don't feel ashamed
It's her life you owe
I owe you love
