You can be happy,
If you find the strength within,
With or without me.
The shiny pearl,
the tiny amber,
of joy and love. It is always in your heart.
If you can see it, you won’t be lonely again, not for long.
With or without me.

Up and down movements of the floating world
“Life is naturally fraught with ups and downs.”
I am bruised, and battered,
You as well, I know.
And it is all fine, my friend,
If we have faith in the timeless beauty within.

The darkness comes upon me,
and the cheerful sun breaks the clouds.
In the ups and downs of emotions,
Dance with me, slowly.

Winter snow,
Dreams of warmth and heat.
The memory of home,
Maybe it’s not too far? If you
Feel.
