Christmas

The Christmas illuminations
light up
our own
warmth
in this town

Our feelings
coming and going
around the world
make up
holy atmospheres

Red leaves

Red leaves
of Enkianthuses
look beautiful
like warm cheers
to runners

About here

About here
colored leaves
are standing out,
satsuma trees
are bearing fruit

I could struggle

I could struggle
my way upward
from the depths of sadness
because I remembered
the warmth beyond death

Visiting a tombstone

Visiting a tombstone
recalls memories,
we pay our respects
at the existence
by putting flowers
