There is a tanka by Shunzei (here in LaFleur's translation):

'Right here and now!
I watch the sun slip away,
thoughts gone to the west
paradise of Amida, where
this is the sky of nightfall.'

Mine:

Here, now, this present
watching as the sun departs
thinking of the West
of Amida, out there, where
this is its high thesterness.

In Lojban:

DEI CA'A CABZVA
.I ZGANA LE SOLRI NOI
DARKLA .IJE MI
PENSI LE XARZDA STICI
POI SE TSANI CO NICTE
