Vergetelheid.

TAN TAIGI (1709-71):

Gemoedsrust --
verleden tijd snel voltooid
in vergetelheid.

Peace of mind --
I forget the days and months
that went by so fast.

nodokasa ya
hayaki tsuki-hi o

"peacefulness -- / fast months-days / I forget."

NB: Dutch translation is a variation on Tan's haiku, not an exact one !!!
