I have been in correspondence from 13years old ,with an old jpanese man who is translator for Emily Dickinson.
A light walks slowly across the horizon. It steps on the ground and dances with the earth. While it sings unboundedly, It brightens up the sky. It comes close to you and throws its light. At that moment, your soul becomes bright. Light the darkness; However deep the darkness is, However endless the darkness is, The light is never too small. Your light is sufficient to light that place. A light comes slowly across from the horizon. A boat sways with the waves. A melody sings cheerfully. A flower of stars shines bright. The light comes close to you and throws its light. At that moment, your soul becomes bright. Light the darkness; However deep the darkness is, However endless the darkness is, The light is never too small. Your light is sufficient to light that place.

A Light
The flowers are yellow. The down is white. Their color is a yellow and white gingham check. Butterflies fly and play with stones. Small shoes step over the jagged leaves And kick the down. The squashed leaves smell sweet. The yellow flowers’ bright eyes Assure us happiness. The white down dreams of Far away And waits for The time when It is ready to depart. The grounds embrace The two lovely sisters And smile.

Two sisters
On the spring ground, Life and death Are living nicely, Holding each other’s hands Are sleeping. They are sleeping because of it. Good night. Good morning. Good-bye. Good afternoon. Under the dry lawns, The white fresh roots Are growing. It’s growing To try to capture something.

spring ground
My friend told me When the spring wind blows. We can see a witch. “Does a witch really exist?” “She does!” “Because my mother is a witch.” “You’re a liar.” “It’s true.” “it’s very easy To fly through the sky.” Someday, About the huge moon night, While we were looking at the moon From the window, We were standing the sand of Arizona spring. We were standing on the sand that has nothing And looking at the sand that has nothing And looking at the moon. We only found one. We plucked a dry grass And we came back immediately. That grass we brought back Has a warm smell That I’ve never smelled. The witch Put it in a bottle And kept it importantly. “Is it very important?” I asked. “Next to you, It’s my vision.” She said. I don’t understand. The witch went somewhere And hasn’t come back since. So, I can’t ask. My friend that told me so Always shared her secrets. We can’t make Secrets by ourselves. If there is a person Who can hide each other’s secrets, A secret will be born. If we have the same secret, I prefer a big one. I’m tired of human talk. Are you a witch, too? You always visited from nowhere. The magical words that you wrote On the ground. Please tell me again. Having a secret is Similar to obtaining treasures of the world. She told me so. My friend is no longer here. The witch story that she flies in the spring wind. The small witch story That she walks playing tricks. She punishes mean fellows. She is always spiteful. Talk to me about the wonderful witch story. The magical song written on the inside of the hat. That song I finally learned. I can’t remember it anyway. The mysterious song. Sing with me. And, Let me keep a secret again.

The wind that looks like its missing winter Shakes a ***** willow. Nevertheless, I can see The shiny sunshine warming Dry lawns. It reminds me that you said. “Feel the wind that hits your ankle.” No, I said, did I say so? I who is forgetting everything, Have forgotten all my important things. While the next season is coming, I was permitted that I stay. While I was depending on a short time And looking at something that I couldn’t finish writing, I found an old letter. You who I’ve never met gave me A long courteous written bouquet. Surprise, appreciation and impression Flow Because I hadn’t realized the person who looked Inside my work so importantly exists. I feel sorry that I forgot The existence of the person Who gave me encouragement That said to me “be a poet.” Your words are In my body. You look at me and talk to me Like you capture An emotional aurora That is my bone space That nobody can see. You and I were permitted That we were rewarded this. I haven’t had this wealthy happiness. Thirty years have gone by. The strong ties that haven’t cooled down are A sneak date by two people Who love poems meet In a tacit secret place. Finally, We get our forgiveness of living people surrounding us That is our encounter. The place that spring winds are born. I want to live there Because nobody can live. While I’m looking at winds every time alone, You cherish me From the place that I can’t see. I receive a written bouquet From you I’ve never met. I can’t stand thinking of The day that these things will disappear. Please always stay at that place where the spring winds Are born.

When I see the clouds shined by sunset, I have to go home now. When I see the bird’s shade, I have to go home now. I have to go home. It is sad. Why does today end here? See you tomorrow? Tomorrow and today are Different. Today is only today. Tomorrow is different. Today’s me doesn’t exist In tomorrow anymore And, neither does today’s you. There doesn’t exist Today’s touch anymore. Nobody knows that Today and tomorrow are completely different. That’s why I cry In this evening. In the shiny bright evening, Today is closed. In this time, When a bulbul’s voice Slashes the sky, It is the same feeling. All that I’ve earned, I don’t need. The annual fleabane’s white bouquet That I gathered Is withering In the hands Like the letter that was never read. I’ll throw it away onto the meadow And run away In order not to be seen by the first star. To be honest, I want to be absorbed in the dark sky And disappear Because I can view the uninhabited vacancy From the sky forever And I might even see today’s back there.

The sunset sky
One song Carries me To a time far away. This old short song Shakes in a high place Like the top of an oak tree. It uttered in a gentle voice Then, told me. Someday, People who you liked Were illusions. It told me that. The illusions that my mind made, I just pursued. The story that I liked, I just liked. It told me. There was nobody Except me. Nobody exists j\Just me and my shadow. Grass trembles. A tree's shade was played By sunshine and wind. A lemon fell and I just laughed and looked.

One song
A turtle dove walks holding a twig in its beak, Stops briefly. Looks around. Walks again. One twig. It is an important one In order to make its nest. It can easily find The right twigs In this time. If I were a turtle dove and made my nest, I would be hectic and run around gathering many twigs at the same time. Even though the turtle dove Was laughed by Clouds and wind, It doesn't hurry up. Something fixes everything. Everything will just fall into place because it knows that. Slowly Like hit or miss, It will carry Valuably and slowly A twig that It catches in its eyes. How did it decide to make a nest? The female that lays an egg? Does it really wait for him? Will its egg really hatch? You just make a nest because spring comes? I don't think so. I recognize if I see its eyes. The turtle dove has confidence And begin to make its nest. Its eyes unshakably clear. God's promise is kept there.

A turtle dove's eyes
If I walk in a sunny park with someone, I can go there. If a stranger asks me a direction, I can go there. While I’m starting at someone’s eyes, I can go there. There is nobody In that place. The secret garden Which sunshine flows. If we breathe Grown weed’s sweet smell, We can go there. If we listen for A faint voice, We can hear it. More than a flower comes out. More than a butterfly falls That faint voice. The voice says. “Don’t lose exiting things In the river of time.” “Don’t give up what You have tried to capture!” There is that place between a word and word That time can’t reach Like this garden. So, In order to listen to the voice, I’ll go to the secret garden.

The secret garden
Now, In the silver rain I'm walking Everywhere. In the obscure rain, On the water that is flowing along the asphalt, I'm walking. Ordinary is everywhere. Nothing really standing out, I'm walking this road. There are no likes and dislikes Because there is only one direction. I'm walking. This road Will float in the universe Because I think so. As if legs Like wings Like songs Are walking. Beyond this road, There are many facts of my character. In order to meet many sides of you, I'm walking. There are no likes and dislikes Because there is only one direction. I'm walking This road. There is no front and back. Just to where The heart leads. If it keeps raining, If the sun shines, It doesn't matter. Because there is only one direction, I'm walking This road. If there is nobody, If there is nothing, It doesn't matter. If I'm sad, I'll accept my sadness. If I'm pleased, I'll accept my pleasure. Both of them are the moment Of illusion Because there is only one direction Just to where the heart leads What exists is This road I'm walking on.
