end of summer

2023.8.18-20 This song was born.

Dedicated to all life.

This song was born in the hot lingering summer heat of 2023. Feeling a slight autumn breeze, this song saved my summer soul and told me my feelings.

When the rainy season ends and the rain stops, summer comes. After the typhoon passes, it's a hot, hot summer. In August, I often think about the nature of life and how to live.
Hiroshima atomic bomb, Victory over Japan Day, Obon.
The anniversary of my father's death and the father of my friend who raised me for three years. My husband's father is also in August. Their anniversaries of death overlapped.
Deep feelings are connected to the light of various lives.
My steamy summer is a sky of compassion and sadness. In this sky dyed crimson with the summer constellations, the Milky Way, the light of the lives of those who have passed away shines as stars, as if nature has taught me.
I feel that the starry sky at this time of year represents life. It's like the light of our souls spreads across the night sky like a group of stars.

I can't help but feel joyful, gracious, and grateful for the "life" we live in now.

When our summer ends

We, we,
are living here and now.

That's why, when summer ends,
we think about life.

I hope to walk together with those I love.
