Lake 
        Hanshan Deqing 1564-1623  

Flat Lake cold penetrates water-lily clothes
the mountain by the lake is neither right or wrong
dusty tracks all end the world is far away
white clouds and gulls have no hidden plans

Deadwood Body  
        

My body is like deadwood my thoughts are like ashes
there's snow on my skull and frost on my jaw
I don't distain the world just because I am old
dust finds no place to land in my eyes.

Myriad Worlds  
       

A hundred thousand worlds are flowers in the sky
a single mind and body is moonlight on the water
Once the cunning ends and information stops
at that moment there is no place for thought 
-

One Tiny Hut  
       

The shade of noble trees spreads in all directions
below the trees a tiny hut is perfectly secluded
beyond the sound of cart or horse or sign of human tracks
all day behind my door I sit alone cross-legged
