色は匂へど散りぬるを。

『 いろはにほへと　ちりぬるを

わかよたれそ　つねならむ

うゑのおくやま　けふこえて

あさきゆめみし

よいもせず

色は匂えど　散りぬるを　

我が世誰ぞ　常ならむ　

有為の奥山　今日越えて　

浅き夢見じ　

酔いもせず。　

： 花の色は鮮やかだが

いつかは散ってしまうように

この世の中で誰が変わらずにいられるだろうか。

無常のこの世を

山を越えるように今日も生きてゆき、

儚い夢など見まい、

酒に酔ったりもすまい。』

（　『色は歌』　作者不明　）

Own interpretation :

桜の花の色は

冬から目覚めたばかりの風景には鮮やかだが

いつかは花吹雪となって散ってしまう。

そんな浅い夢をいつまでも見て

酔いしれてばかりいるのではなく

変わりゆく季節の中で

我心の移ろいを受けとめて

これからは、恋もせず、生きてゆこうではないか。

たとえそれが心の中の現実とは逆行しようとも。

浅き夢見し。

『 あさきゆめみし　我が恋は　春霞へと　消えてゆく。。』

春の天気はうつろいやすく

心変わりしやすいことはわかっていても

また私を12年前のあの時のように

春霞の「夢の世界」へと誘なおうとする。。

「浅い夢」を見るのは危険とわかっていても。

April 1st, 2025 ~

After 12 years ~ returning into the hazy days of spring..~

12年の月日を経て、

私はまたここに戻ってきた。

あの時と同じ「春霞の中の夢」をたずさえながら。。

I'm returning to where I came from just about 12 years ago 

when I was swallowed into the stream of my past.

It was the hazy days of early spring.

I was drowned in the shallow icy cold water on streams 

with the fallen petals of cherry blossoms, 

just having been blown away from the trees 

by the gusts of the mean spring wind 

in the frosty air.

I'm slowly fading away into my dreams that I dreamt.

I wake up on the pale pink bed petal of cherry blossoms on my bed once again.

It is not icy cold any more.

Hazy days are almost gone ..

Spring has begun.

Each Wednesday evening..

I remember

what we did

on each Wednesday evening..


Sat in your bar,

watching music videos

Toasted together

& drinking alcohol..


It was a happy moment

We didn't do anything special

but just talked


It was a cozy moment

Just looking into your eyes

and you smiled


I remember the night

we spent together

When I smiled at you,

you blushed

You enjoyed my company, too

I was happy


Just looking at your face

made me so happy


I hoped those moments

would last forever

But Life wasn't easy..

Always, Same old story

Just like home never had..

I remember

the night

we spent together at your bar

watching

a series of music videos.


We were all alone,

there was no one else

at your place.


We had casual talks about it,

but it was a

special moment for me


Because it was so cozy,

and made me feel at ease

like home I've never had..

Don't believe in happiness, but..

I don't believe in happiness,

but this time,

maybe,

I do

Fortuneteller..

Fortuneteller

that I had today

His words calmed me down

to be sure for sure


I was luck of confidence

in everything

but he changed the whole prospect

to be secured of myself


He told me

You & I

We might have a future together,

" You have a lot of things in common,

some people don't have a future,

but you guys do,

So just take time .. "


I thought at first

it was silly to ask

a fortuneteller about our future

but each of his words

rang my bells

deep inside of my heart..


His words were

just like reading our minds

How does he know

our exact current situation

and how we feel about each others ?


He's a wise man.

That's why he is called

A " Fortune Teller "


It just happened to meet him today

just like it always has been

at the right time

in my life..


Happy to meet you

today

again,

& Thank you
