The rain is over:
South Mountain puffs out
Spring clouds.

Lost In Tranquil Seas was inspired by the haiku by Gary Clarke 

Lost in tranquil seas
Where spring feels melancholy
Another sunset

Gary Clarke joined a social media platform to raise awareness about an infrastructure issue in his local area by creating a website at Whaligoe Eye in August, 2021. During this time, he stumbled across a poetry and writing community which provided support and encouragement for his creativity.

Lost In Tranquil Seas was written for Violin, Viola, Cello and String Bass,

Winter sky–
Distant dreams
Shattered and flown away
(Tr. by John Stevens)
A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.
Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.
