The branches and leaves whisper,
The unknown forest is deep --
I wander in the moonlit night,
Grasping a small feather...
Frozen at a crossroad,
I listen to the voices of the trees,
Offering a prayer
To the desired night sky...
Without looking back, I ran on --
I'd even lost sight of the footprints.
Believing that I'll reach my destination someday,
I step out into the solitary night.
The blue bird takes flight,
My outstretched hand seeks the stars --
Let both grief and loneliness
Nourish me to survive the future.
The night dew whispers,
My unknown wounds lie deep --
I hid them in the waters
So that no one would find them...
Drops drift down
And give birth to ripples --
Overlapping, they make
Healing music...
Unable to finish, I ran --
Rejecting even kindness.
Embracing the quiet sound of rain
That had begun falling sometime before...
...The blue bird takes flight,
Searching for the meaning of happiness --
Wetting its wings, it heads towards its goal,
Shaking off yesterday and flying far beyond.
The blue bird soars through the night sky,
My outstretched hand seeks the stars --
Let both grief and loneliness
Nourish me to survive the future.
The blue bird alights,
The night dawns and bird songs fills the air --
Where happiness belongs...
Yes, it is always by my heart.
