Pleasures of a happy home
Evening reminds me of a family.
The place that people come back through.
Small house is full of much love.
The back of mother.
I still hold the impression of the color.
The warm touch.
The shore is sometimes dyed in colors like mother.
With nostalgia.
Forever...

" Mother " Japanese calligraphy
"母" (bo, or haha). It is translated as mother.
This character is written by Kanzi, Regular script.
Etymology : Pictogram
a woman with breasts with nipples kneeling or standing.
In modern form turned on left side.
Cognate to 女 (“woman”), which has developed similarly, but does not include dots for nipples and has lost one breast.
Compare also 卵 (“eggs”), presumably from testicles.
The fertile form seems to mold the shape of mother.
It may be expressed the gentleness, too.

Gone with blue-green airspace
The paddy-rice finally changes to deep green.
They will continue the undulation such as the wave.
So, without cease.
The strong backlight focuses on the rice field.
Deeper, more distance.
Like heat haze...
The clouds are wandering about in the silence.
The candela lets colors float still more.
All may be absorbed there.

This character is written by Kanzi and Hiragana.

夏草や つわものどもが 夢のあと
松尾 芭蕉 (1644 - 1694)
summer grass warriors... traces of dreams
Matsuo Bashō (1644 - 1694)
Hiragana seems to express flexible Japanese mind.
The lines are delicate.
The unique view of the haiku world is made to amplify depth by them still more.
Short, but it may not show the bottom.

Endless Summer
That memory.
In the distance...
It is not sent back anymore.
Yes. I enjoy this moment.
Lovely this time.
The memory is carved with in the heart.
The eyes stare at something calmly.
I will go the direction sometime soon.
The place that waits for me.

Shimmering golden threads
Please show the vain souls.
The brightness to praise the world.
The holy sacrifice is short life.
The golden slit may be an entrance to the futures.
We will be led there.
Stars to glisten are fleeting hope.
A simple bouquet floats in the night sky.
Oh, i am satisfied with this.
Only in mere it...
