さくさくと saku-saku

making the sound, saku-saku

I walk on the pebbles

at the local shrine

ring the big bell

and give prayers

朝刊 morning paper

soft light of winter

on my back

I read the morning paper

 delivered at home

こんもりの森 woods on a mound hill

moved from Hamamatsu

it's been 20 days since I came to Nara

blue sky and woods on a mound hill

are embracing my life

湖の辺 by the lake

moved from the capital

lived by the lake

for15 years

I had been happy
