Frogs like ponds a lot, They hop in them joyfully, With a giant SPLASH.

Harbingers of spring, Woodpeckers on my gutters, Night frog melody

In meadows birds swoop, Wavy grass and purple skies, Bye bye winters droop

Small marks of beauty Dig down into the forest Diamonds and Rubies!

dawn meditation~ the foreheads of harbour seals sending out wavelets

The wisdom from trees To spring anew, leaves must fall Nourishment for next

border checkpoint I leave my past and shadow behind the red line

unwrapping presents magnolia pinks up the gray— petal confetti

Sit and stare At the stars so bright In the night sky

Japanese version: イチゴが成長します。 光の中で生命が湧き出る 選ばれる準備ができています English version: The strawberries grow. Springing to life in the light Ready to be picked
