Shining moonlit pines
Waving in the winter wind
Covered in the snow.

Light blue scarf of silk.
Secrets hidden within clouds
Looking down at earth.

The author's comments:
What inspired me to write this piece was Yosa Buson's poem. Yosa Buson (1716-1783) was a Japanese poet from the Edo Period. In one of his poems, he presents a picture of a moonlit spring evening. I was inspired to use the same emotions to speak about a moonlit winter evening.
