Returning To My Native Village Poem by Taigu Ryokan

Returning To My Native Village

Rating: ★5.0


Returning to my native village after many years’ absence:
I put up at a country inn and listen to the rain.
One robe, one bowl is all I have.
I light incense and strain to sit in meditation;
All night a steady drizzle outside the dark window --
Inside, poignant memories of these long years of pilgrimage.
