Zen Poems by Dogen
Mind’s no solid
One can touch or see-
Dew, frost
– Dogen
There in midnight water,
Waveless, windless,
The old boat’s swamped
With moonlight.
– Dogen
The World? Moonlit
Drops shaken
From the crane’s bill
– Dogen
From Zen Poems of China and Japan
Translated by Lucien Stryk and Takashi Ikemoto
– Spiritual Poets
