Scattering shy leaves Skittering down two by two In Fall’s breeze they sink Forming such a golden path Blind-folded hearts can follow
To hide in plain sight Something we all yearn for, but Our differences Do not belong in the mud For mud cannot be polished
A soft fluttering A pulse that pushes beyond Beating of the heart Oh to express the joys of, A soap opera here and there
No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
Fresh Seattle rain Cleanser more of soul than streets I envy that sound Such simple pure harmony Don’t forget that umbrella!
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out
初めては いつも苦しい 二回には?
The mind of a girl That swirling vertex of bright Is unreachable So we put up these steel walls When we could have built a bridge!
Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed
Flickering between The realms of light and shadow Why not close the shades? Sleep’s alluring charm welcomes Despite such early hours!
Red and orange glitter Dancing delicately high Above winding paths Falling to the great grey streams Falling for grace, or duty?
Foggy morning sky Your veil remains untouched by The flags of Autumn How cruel of you to kidnap Such keen keepsakes of your kin
Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
