白雪の零るるばかりしきふれば幼なの頃の花苑(はなぞの)ぞ開(あ)く
unending
white snow falling
and spilling…
my childhood nostalgic
flower garden opens up
2
寒波鳴る荒びの風雪ことごとく真白にかへし現し身こもる
echoing cold wave…
the winter-raging snow
returns
all to pure white
I shut myself in
3

雪雲の透けてひきゆく間に描くわが想念のあれこれかも
all my thoughts
and feelings to draw
while snow clouds
are moving in and out
through my heart
4

いま君はいづこに居るや ソーシャルメディアにちらほら光(て)る君の影
Now
where are you?
Your shadow
flickering and shiny
on social media
5

冬山の道は閉ざされ進み得ず谷間にあぎとふ行方のしるべ
Winter mountain…
my path is closed, and cannot
be followed
While panting in the valley
I seek a sign
6

大寒波の雲におほはれ谷暗し水な凍てそ凍てそと忍ぶる
valley is
dark with a major cold wave
now, be patient
hoping that water
won’t freeze, won’t freeze
7

白銀の嶺嶺(ねね)の杉なみ凛凛とあやしの雲へ透(す)き立ちにけり
all pure white
graceful cedars in each ridge
rising
through the mysterious
snow clouds
8
束縛のにほひにふるへ歩きけり雪原燦く冬晴れの朝
Restraint…
I walk quivering
with its smell
It’s a fine winter morning
with sparkling snowfields
9
従順のつひに叫びき「われ違ふ!」囲の渦中 時は流れて
Obedience
finally exclaimed
‘I’m not so’
in an enclosing world
…time flows
10

深雪にし熟睡(うまい)の闇は覚めがたし彩(いろ)冴ゆる地は春の香はこぶ
because of deep snow
it’s hard to wake from the dark
in a sound sleep
spring fragrance will bring
a vivid, colourful land
Congratulations!
