Summer in Yasaka

 

In the sunset of the hot summer day
The sound of a cicada makes me envision an ancient light-scape:
Souls of my ancestors who had lived here.
They are now together with us unified at heart,
For creating a new country for everybody to live on,
To guard our country
In the sunset of the hot summer day.
In the closing of day
I have put all my energies.
Now I welcome the time to rest.
The surrounding space is filled with the sound of a cicada.
Souls that transcended time-space were living together with us.
Unified at heart we would create a new country
At the core of the universe.
The center was firmly built.
That shall never be destroyed.
Here, everything will move forward.
