Street lined with cherry blossoms

On the way back home
I made a round trip to appreciate cherry blossoms.
As I looked up at a heavenly large sky it looked like walking through a tunnel of flowers,
I wondered what I would see after the tunnel.
When my father was still alive
On the way to see him, and after having gone through a mountain tunnel,
A field covered all over with peach flowers came into my sight.
A world in peach color was wide open and
The world I was living in was transformed all at once.
And today after the tunnel the color of cherry blossom
I envisioned my future.
As I created an ode to the beautiful cherry blossoms
That were in full bloom in the world far beyond ours
A flower of my life was brilliantly shining.
Thus our future was full of hope.
A new world that had never been manifested on earth
Became wide open and was full of light of the truth and
Generated an aroma.
The truth was the source and hope of us to live on.
