Ancient Japanese Poetry

Two Tanka

From outside my house,
only the faint distant sound
of gentle breezes
wandering through bamboo leaves
in the long evening silence.

Late evening finally
comes: I unlatch the door
and quietly
await the one
who greets me in my dreams.


-- Otomo No Yakamochi, (718-785)

Well methinks if you read the original japanese it wouldn't be quite so mysterious & deep as you portray it
