Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Challenge #6, Buson's "In the stillness"

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Another week has gone by and it's already time for a new Tan Renga Challenge. Today I have chosen a nice haiku written by Buson (1716-1784), one of the four greatest haiku masters ever.

Credits: Peonies

The Challenge is to complete the Tan Renga. A Tan Renga has two stanza and is written by two haiku poets. The first gives the first stanza (5-7-5) and the second reacts on the haiku by writing a two line stanza (7-7). As you post your completion of the Tan Renga ... please copy and paste the first stanza into your post and enclose your second stanza. By the way: don't be afraid to diverge from the syllables count. Feel free and share your feeling.
