Mono no Aware: The Impermanence of Things

Shoot, I forgot who the poet is (Basho?) but I found this in my journal (the one where I write the really secret stuff ;) hehe) Anyway... just thought I'd share.

NOT MY POEM.

Poem 1

Why should my heart

remain stained

by blossoms,

When I thought I had tossed that all away?

Poem 2

Trailing in the wind

Fuji's smoke

fades into the sky

destination unknown

just like my own thoughts
