Beyond the gate house
But before the small temple
Loons a ginko tree
Larger than life and twice as bright
Golden Tokaido Treasure
Beyond the gate house
But before the small temple
Loons a ginko tree
Larger than life and twice as bright
Golden Tokaido Treasure
Oh Hamamatsu
A silhouetted sound-scape
Laughter to my right
Distant construction my left
Stitched together with fall leaves.
Come sit with me here
Among the Nissaka tea
Brimming with Kindness
It is these moments of pause
Why we walk the Tokaido
