Hokusai-The Tengu Goddess, Mystical Bird 1760

For a few seconds a stray sunbeam

Makes visible the dance of dance motes

Swaying, trembling, swooning then falling

I have been granted a glimpse

Of harmony in the floating world

For the moment I am deeply content

Eyelids heavy, chin dropping towards chest

I dream of angels in a distant Heaven

Languidly embracing in the shallows

Of a limpidly becalmed pool.
