The long night;
The Sounds of the water
Says what I think
-Zen haiku-

The Thief left it behind
the moon at the window
-Ryokan-

Over the river, the shining moon; in the pine trees, sighing wind;
All night long so tranquil - Why? and for Whom?

These are taken from "The way of Zen", by Alan W. Watts.
