心の時間――Kairos
寄木細工の浮き雲が
夕陽を浴びて
小恋路に煌々と輝いた
白銀の印画紙に
浮かんだ若き日の母
節くれ雲に父の手の甲
愛し愛されし人らの
穏やかな笑顔が浮かんでは
銀幕に彩り灯らせる
夕暮れのひとときに見し
心の錦、魔法の時
ふいに香った金木犀
English version
The Time of the Heart — Kairos
The cloud of inlaid wood
Bathes in the sunset's glow,
Shining brightly in the small love's orange hue.
On silver photographic paper,
A vision of my young mother rises,
Father's hand, etched by the crooked clouds.
The gentle smiles of those once loved,
They appear, fading in and out,
Bringing color to the silver screen.
In the moment of dusk,
I saw the brocade of my heart, the magic hour,
Suddenly scented by the sweet osmanthus.
