Winter Wind

by Gypsy Blue Rose


If You Would Like To Join the Japanese Poetry Club, please check my author notes


May winter winds 
carry my ashes across 
blue oceans and sky, 
so when my children look for me, 
they’ll find me in the clouds and seas.

I’ll be shining 
with the summer sun, 
and with the harvest moon, 
on dew dripping down 
spring cherry blossoms. 

Most of all,
I’ll be in my children’s hearts, 
till the end of time.

Jisei is a poem written in zen style by the poet before their own death. These poems reflect the final reflections of one's life. It was generally a tradition with zen monks but were written by poets as well. These poems originated in Japanese, Chinese and Korean cultures as far back as the 7th Century, and can be written in any poetry form, but were traditionally written in tanka or haiku style. for more information click here
