その先の花咲く道を…如月の寒風耳に夢まどろみて
beyond that point
I hope to go on
the flower road…
listening to cold winds
dreaming in February
2
つつましく春来たるらし あはあはと春雪舞ひて香のみ残せり
modestly
spring may come
spring snow
fluttering faintly lightly
leaving only fragrance
3
あはあはと降りては消ゆる春の雪 つもらざるに見ん念の救ひを
faintly lightly
spring snow falls and fades
without piling …
I see salvation for
my obsession
4
色映ゆる花見えずとも雪原にわたる風の音けふは春めく
even though
I can’t see colorful flowers
today’s wind
over the snow fields
brings a tune of spring
5
夕さりに雪雲ちらす光さし三月（やよい）の山の端(は)おぼろあかるむ
early evening
sunlight dissipates
snow clouds …
the mountain-edge of March
faintly brightening
6
あかときに春の香かすかにしのび入り窓凍らざる朝到来す
at daybreak
spring fragrance creeping
into air faintly
the morning comes
without windows freezing

2019年３月９日は、とても良く晴れ、久しぶりにすっきりとした鳥海山を見ることができました。
It was fine very much on March 9th. 2019. I could see the beautiful Mt. Chokai for the first time in a while during winter.
a clear blue sky
in March …
awe-inspiring
Mt. Chokai in pure white
from the top to the bottom

8
君逝きて早も一年(ひととせ)シンビジウム残雪を背に今日も咲きたり
one year has already passed
since you left this world —
against the remaining snow
cymbidium blooming today too
9
岩山を渡(と)し空に舞ふ鳥を追ひ目指す峰までなほ如何ほどや
walking the rocky mountain
chasing birds flying in the sky …
how far
is it still to the mountain-top
your goal?
10
ねがはくは今日聴く鳥は白鳥にあれ君に添ひ吾(あ)も聴かるるに
I hope
the birds you hear today
are swans …
I can also hear them
accompanying you
晩秋にシベリアから飛来した白鳥が帰還する季節になりました。この頃、
頭上で白鳥が啼く声をよく耳にします。
It is the season that swans which came flying from Siberia in late autumn return. These days, I often hear their whooping call.
