Every day, the temperature gets colder and I feel the depth of autumn. Autumn beautiful leaves also have come down from Mt. Chokai or Mt. Kurikoma. When I looked up at the local mountains and I looked around the school from a distance during this morning walk, the leaves of the trees turned yellow and red. In the village, the orange color of marigold flowers also looked more orange, as if it were longing for the autumn morning sun.
While I going down the mountain path, a violin with an amber glow came to my mind. Ah, I suddenly thought that the instrument that suited such an autumn day might be a violin. I have heard that the violin is the closest to the human mind and can best express our delicate tremors. I tried to make the wavelength that was transmitted to me, probably the wind carried, into the above tanka.

darkness of the heart
bouts of quiet clashes:
midnight oracle
寂然の深夜の闇に神の告げ
Translated by Rika Inami
.................... Something In My Way By James Tian I believe that all the words can be appeared in the silence, With most lovely feeling. Sometimes we can never describe it, Especially mixed with the tears and shyness in laughing. Maybe the night, That just do our so called goblins. Whether we’re in the distance or not, As being with each other on a more closer way like showing. Starry nights, Don’t ask for the moon, Each one will have the hard moment anyhow, Whatever through the melodious chimes that you can’t in imagining. Something in my way, Like now we’re just keeping or thinking. Friendly pursuit in most of the space, May only be the same, That the side of our life, Made us surprised always each time faced the very turnings.
