Want To Read Some?

Some of the poetry I've read tonight:

Since time began
the dead alone know peace.
Life is but melting snow.
_________
At last I am leaving:
in rainless skies, a cool moon...
pure is my heart
_________
Tender winds above the snow
melt many kinds
of suffering.
__________
Evening cherry-blossoms:
I slip the inkstone back into my kimono
this one last time.
__________
A bright and pleasant
autumn day to make
death's journey.
