Blossoms on the pavement

of my driveway

When I slurp

        a bowl of somen noodles

           it becomes a summer breeze

My five children


Are they each gazing at


this full moon?

Old hands


steady  and focused

I used to sing this song a lot as a chiild but never imagined singing it the way UA Umi does. There is a supernatural quality abouther voice. (Here is the link) Her stage name UA means Flower in Ethiopian but she is Japanese. The song feels like church music. Her voice is slightly off tune and her customes our out there but she has a sweet quality.

 

 Spring is coming, spring is coming


Where is spring now?  Here in the mountains,


Here in the village,


And here in the fields. 

 



Flowers are blooming, flowers are blooming,


where do the flowers bloom?


Here in the mountains,


Here in the village,


And here in the fields. 



 

Birds are singing, birds are singing,


where do birdies sing?


Here in the mountains,


Here in the village 


And here in the fields

First Butterfly


Finds the path


of the wind

within a reach


more happiness


 on a branch of flowers

The buds


Invite me to open


the window facing North

A moment of Spring


comes to a cat 


 one big yawn
