tanka's in the Garden of Words

Narukami no sukoshi toyomite
sashi kumori
ame mo furano ka
kimi wo todomemu

a faint clap of thunder,
clouded skies
perhaps rain comes
if so, will you stay here with me?

Narukami no sukoshi toyomite
furazu to mo
warewa tomaramu
imoshi todomeba

a faint clap of thunder,
even if rain comes not
I will stay here
together with you

These are tanka's from the Manyoushu, featured in the film Kotonoha no niwa(garden of words).

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die. 

-Mary Elizabeth Frye
