Haiku about Summer (6)


I found hydrangeas blooming in front of the stone statues of Jizo Bosatsu (地蔵菩薩), the guardian deity for children, also believed to be the divine guardian of travelers and pregnant women.



The soul

stops on the way ―

hydrangeas


紫陽花に魂の足とまりたり


Ajisai ni tamashii no ashi tomaritari



Hydrangeas

bloom at the gate ―

the dreamland


夢の国門に紫陽花咲きにけり


Yumenokuni mon ni ajisai sakinikeri



― Hidenori Hiruta
