blossom haze

spring is passing

before our eyes

花のもや

春が過ぎて行く

目の前で

light rain

around the buddha’s feet

a sea of diamonds

仏の足の周り

ダイヤモンドの海

sunlight draws her colours

around the rocks

海のピンク

日光が色を描く

岩の周りに

these colours

the new and ever never

gifts from the sea

新しい、かつてない

海からの贈り物

too beautiful to eat

these flowers

これらの花を

the wind picks up where she left
