Wandering around the apricot




        I thank all of you for the kindness and encouragement.
      The people will sure revive vigorously.

      I heartily believe it.





         
      Opening, Rational, Composure...
      They will lead all to the reproduction.





 Fragrances lead me.
 Out of nowhere...

 Faint, and Soft.





 The snow white glistens.
 Time does not stop.

 And drift eternally.





 You hide.
 A secret flower garden.

 I drift, too.  And an end will come.
