Late spring, evening mist;
Jewelled leaves, mirrored moonlight -
My passing shadow.

Renunciation:
this liberating chain binds

I do not want my house to be walled in on sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.- Gandhi
With persistence aroused for the highest goal's attainment, with mind unsmeared, not lazy in action, firm in effort, with steadfastness & strength arisen, wander alone like a rhinoceros.
Not neglecting seclusion, absorption, constantly living the Dhamma in line with the Dhamma, comprehending the danger in states of becoming, wander alone like a rhinoceros.- Snp. 1.3

Guarding day lilies at dusk,
I will do no harm

To do no evil
Cultivate only the good
Purify the mind.

Mindfulness is like
Forgetting one's mother tongue,
Hearing only sound.

Mindfully watching
The rise and fall of all things
This is true freedom!

We have missed you friend.

And that knocker, he says, "Honey,
Roll this rocker out some money,
Or your daddy shoots a baddie to the floor." ♫♫ --The Venerable Mr. Miggle

In time I am sure
I will forgive what you've done
Why not forgive now?

If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)
'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra Panyapatipo

The river is full
It carries flowers and crap
all to the wide sea.

fed by the rain and cold snow
does it wait for sleep ?

This does not appear
to be a haiku at all.
Please try again, sir!
