Spring

Through a white lace curtain a light of spring has come.
I was filled with great happiness just being in my room.
A precious moment in the afternoon.

I saw Mt. Fuji reflecting the light of spring,
And an eternal beauty.
Since childhood Mt. Fuji has been my companion in life.
In sadness,
In painful days,
It was always there, and I speculated over
The meaning of my life.

The beat of the land of Musashino
Carried a wind and aroma that I knew in my childhood.
I asked myself about the meaning of a remaining memory of my parents
Who had been dead.
Then I realized that souls of people who had lived here were reviving now.
Great Mother Earth addressed me
And so did souls of people.
I became excited at heart anticipating encounters.
Fully excited at heart in spring.
