Ceaselessly Falling

(Winter)

No sky, no earth;

Only snow

Ceaselessly falling.

This snowy hokku was composed by Hashin and translated here by David.

Thanks for the beautiful hokku! I like being able to see the original hokku in Japanese, as well as the literal translation in your blog site. Thank you for that, David!
