The lotus flowers

Walking the path
with prayers for peace
held close to my heart,
gazing at the lotus flowers
in bloom.

The cluster of Spotted Bellflowers

Upon the cluster of Spotted Bellflowers,
I am reminded of a story
I read long ago—one
that quietly awakens
the voice within

I went to a rose garden

On my way home from work,
I went to a rose garden.
the breeze is refreshing there
it's overflowing
with lively energy.

Rhododendrons are signposts

Rhododendrons are signposts
that illuminate the time
we walked together,
dusk is approaching
on the path of our memories.

Involucral bracts of Cornus kousa

Involucral bracts of Cornus kousa
like white shurikens,
they made me realize gently
the rustling wind
passing each other

Peonies and roses

Peonies and roses are in full bloom,
making it the height of the flowering season,
the sky is clear.
It's a refreshing season
with a gentle breeze.

It is filled with clear air

The boundary
between the rapeseed flowers
and the sky
it is filled with clear air
and the wind is blowing.
