Star falling night

At the foot of mountains in the Caucasus region in Azerbaijan, I created a poem entitled “aroma of my most cherished person” surrounded by the light-scape that looked very familiar to me as I went through a night way under a star falling sky. This made me think over the meaning of my life. I recalled that I heard in my mind a song about falling stars when I had visited the Tohoku district of Japan for the first time as the high school trip was commemorating its final year. I vividly remember the beauty of transparent twinkling starlight that made me yearn for a world far beyond the large night sky. I recalled also that I envisioned my heavenly mission when I had lain myself down on Mother Earth in Ethiopia and looked up at the similar night sky full of falling light of stars. And today as I drove through the land of the north to Aomori I could see falling stars and the atmosphere and special sense of a field of earth that I felt in my teens in Tohoku was revived. The internal feeling of my life manifested that my deepest wishes that I cherished since childhood would be truly realized and now I would substantially take great steps for global peace. The truly peaceful world shall allow everyone to manifest one’s true nature and shine brilliantly. I was greatly impressed at the sight of the beautiful land of the north and I felt grateful as I could regain the precious sensitivity to live in harmony with nature.
