Haiku:
雪花が舞う
(Sekka ga mau) – Snowflakes dance
さやかな光昇る
(Sayaka na hikari noboru) – Gentle light rises
神社。
(Jinja) – A shrine


Poem:
A bell does not ring.
Still, its silence lingers
in the snowfall.

He stands
one with the cold,
the wooden pillars,
the breathless sky.

Each flake,
a prayer
never spoken,
never lost.
