Autumn in Kyoto

 

I endorsed my heart to leaves of trees and prayed
That I could live forever a beautiful life enjoying freedom.
While I was living on day after day, embracing in my heart the extremely gentle nature,
Seasons were rotating and now autumn had come.
Trees have started to change colors and make themselves up.
That expressed the deep meaning of human life.
Every creature was waiting for Great Being.
I made up my heart in the fashion of leaves of trees.
We were ready to encounter it.

Waves of water on the surface
Reflected my heart
And the world far beyond ours.
Unified at heart, we were alive now.

Sound of rain drops penetrated into my heart.
Here at Osawa pond.
Trees were drenched and reviving their vigor.
Color of trees.
Life in nature was full of richness.
We were living all together in autumn.
Our heart was satisfied in autumn.
We were happy just staying here all together.

In autumn everything was nursing and enriching our life.
As the season was deepening.
The sound of rain drops has started to tell about
The souls of my ancestors who had lived here in the remote past.
Time to encounter has come.
I realized in my heart
the profound depth of human life.
