Illusion, Tanka

Painting by Jeong Hae-Kwan

Life is a river,
We are wandering boats,
We have no sails.

Time pushes us to nowhere.
Life is just an illusion.

Nowhere

Illusion, Life, Tanka

Painting by Jane Montague

We work night and day.
We are restless and breathless,
But we keep running.

We have a race to nowhere,
In the middle of nowhere.

Naissance

Haïku, Illusion

Sur les bords du lac,
Se meurent mes illusions.
L’étoile s’éveille.

Sword

Tags

Illusion, Tanka

All along the life
We are taught the delusion,
The hypocrisy.

My sword is always heartfelt
I am on the way of silence.

Delusion

Illusion, Tanka

Preachers know neither
The world nor what life is. They
Just sell delusion.

They judge without knowing
They are pathetic puppets.
