Koma at Yasaka

I walked up the Yumemizaka street towards the Yasaka tower. As I approached it, I became filled with nostalgia and joy to be able to come back. I smiled at it. I started to tell my story, to which breezes of Yasaka responded and told me of the presence of numerous souls that listened to me. I realized that I was indeed in the land of my ancestors. I was grateful that people could get together transcending a great lapse of time. Hidden history was being manifested. The high spirituality of Koguryo was standing here as an eternal pole. My heart became excited as the era of hope had come. My soul trembled as numerous souls of my ancestors were together with me. The poems of the internality of my life I read for the past month have well demonstrated that I have gone through extremely dramatic and miraculous experiences in Georgia and Azerbaijan. I recalled that when I had left Japan I wished to come back safely to Kyoto and to hold a gathering of poems for life. And to my great joy and gratitude, today I held this and as I read aloud my poems that sounded marvelous and full of hope, I realized that my poems always expressed a vision of my life that would surely be realized in some future. My poems were shining brilliantly and coffee served by Mr. Idaki Shin made me realize that every life was gentle and kind. The sweet beans made by him tasted of a special flavor of autumn in a clear transparent atmosphere. I realized a new life living in a new time that was manifested in our concert in Baku. The landscapes I saw along my way from Tokyo to Kyoto were also extremely beautiful and remained in my heart. I was extremely impressed by the beauty of autumn. This year’s autumn was really something special. I was extremely happy.
