From the mind
Of a single, long vine,
One hundred opening lives.

Chiyo-ni, 1703 – 1775, was widely regarded as one of the greatest female haiku poets. Her poems work for a unity of nature with humanity. Her most famous haiku is

morning glory!
the well bucket-entangled,
I ask for water

Finding the water bucket entangled in the vines of a morning glory, she will go ask for water rather than disturb the flower.

The great sea moves me, sets me adrift.
It moves me like algae on stones in running brook water.
The vault of heaven moves me.
Mighty weather storms through my soul.
It carries me with it.
Trembling with joy.

 
Uvavnuk, 19th century, was a female shaman and healer of the Inuit in the Canadian Artic. After experiencing a ‘glowing ball of fire in the sky’ she gained a telepathic sensitivity and reportedly sang the song above.

 
Both of these female poets/mystics show a strong connection with nature and seem to be grounded by the physical at the same time they are swept away by it.

Chiyo uses imagery of a garden vine that has the capacity to multiple itself a hundred-fold, perhaps like our own minds constantly create our realities.

Uvavnuk references the power of water and wind to transport her. Notice that her poem is comprised of six simple declarative sentences.
