The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays

Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens

Seasonal ill’n Ado, ado, soft achoos Cool wind seeps through me

Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them

Delicate surprise From behind blind-folded eyes That glint of glitter Sprinkle, sprinkle, floating down We reach out, we grasp, we drink

To etch a love song No earthy ink can suffice Only color drawn From such a naive heart-well Could paint even an inkling

I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow

愛の歌 空に隠れた それなのに この忘れない 音、まだ響く

Scattering shy leaves Skittering down two by two In Fall’s breeze they sink Forming such a golden path Blind-folded hearts can follow

A soft fluttering A pulse that pushes beyond Beating of the heart Oh to express the joys of, A soap opera here and there

To hide in plain sight Something we all yearn for, but Our differences Do not belong in the mud For mud cannot be polished

Twelve in numbered spin Once reaching double digits Feel the crisp brisk sweeps Sudden gentle remainders Subtle breath of orange array
