silver strand …
   where does water end and land begin?
     a whistling plover

In the evening
on one leg
a sparrow, hopping

I must go there today --
Tomorrow the plum blossoms
Will scatter.

A nightingale's song
Brings me out of a dream:
The morning glows.

An old silent pond...
A frog jumps into the pond,

splash! Silence again.
