giggling girls swirling
yukata adorning them
paper fans in hands
~
gulping down the sweets
sumo-wrestler in Kyoto
the Gion is in flow
~
opened entryways
displayed family heirlooms
take a glance and leave
~
single stroke needed
slashing the rope of desires
begins matsuri
*Written in response of Carpe Diem # 230.
May be the future isn’t so bright for me
May be I won’t always be free
But at least I won’t be as trapped as I am now
I know no one, not even I myself can make such a vow
But I got to have some faith in something
May be my decision won’t solve everything
But I got to believe, I got to have some hope
I need to stay clinging to some rope
May be the future isn’t so bright for me
But I can hope it is a far better tree
than the one upon which I sit today
Maybe I will find the lighting ray
One which will make it all fine for me
Even if I won’t always be free.
