I’ve traveled

That dark path to the world

Which comes down from this mountain

Just to see you

One last time.

-

Ono no Komachi

Is this love reality

Or a dream?

I cannot know,

When both reality and dreams

Exist without truly existing

-

Ono no Komachi

The color of the flower has faded,

while I lost myself in

idle thought in this long rain

-

Ono no Komachi

What is it about this twilight hour? Even the sound of a barely perceptible breeze pierces the heart.
