(2013)
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
My White Cloak Part one: Place Entering day by day (1) Into a place to grow and stay Into the foundational walls of old
Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed
A stone for a head A dauntingly fragile nose Sudden convulsions To lay my head down in peace My vestigial heart begs
To hide in plain sight Something we all yearn for, but Our differences Do not belong in the mud For mud cannot be polished
To grasp at the root This longing for the seasons Hidden deep, deep down To say it’s just “Natural,” Would only scratch the leaf-tops
Flickering between The realms of light and shadow Why not close the shades? Sleep’s alluring charm welcomes Despite such early hours!
Archaic toiling Through endless character streams To drown deeper still Beneath black and white waters Until I breathe symbolly
Foggy morning sky Your veil remains untouched by The flags of Autumn How cruel of you to kidnap Such keen keepsakes of your kin
To etch a love song No earthy ink can suffice Only color drawn From such a naive heart-well Could paint even an inkling
Distractions of youth Parade like bright spring flowers Always on the mind Entangling my weak heart To the land of mud and ice
Fresh Seattle rain Cleanser more of soul than streets I envy that sound Such simple pure harmony Don’t forget that umbrella!
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!
愛の歌 空に隠れた それなのに この忘れない 音、まだ響く
