Sweet time Ⅱ with " Wind " Japanese calligraphy
The solitude softly brushes my cheeks.
No, it's imagination.
Only a shadow stands.
My sense has passed.
So, and nothing is left.
The dry wind shakes hair.
I hope that there is just you.
The time has flowed.
... The small boat drifts between ripples.
Here is Genkai-chō, Higashi-matsuura District, Saga Prefecture.

So, it may be safe. Who knows ?
This nature will be kept in good condition.
Probably...

Feeling the approach of a new season
The smile indicate something next.
She first has taken off.
Yet, cold wind is surrounding her.
The shape melt into fleeting light.
The keen-edged snow white.
Please don't forget me.

The trial is going to wait for them, but.
God must give Ume the best sweet fragrance. ( Ume : Japanese apricot )
