I photographed it,
  but that's not what I see...
 
I wanted to show it to mom -
  the setting Sun
behind the ancient trees,
  their massive branches
and broad leaves

I never knew,
  I never could foresee
what she would say and how she would perceive

Oh, she had taste and understanding...

I wonder whether they can see,
  what they can see
in That, the Other World...

which is inevitable for us all...
