Shared Sky

Day 5.

🌲🦤

"Shared Sky" is a poem that documents a sanctuary. I elevated this poem from personal observation to a universal message about conservation. In my mission to share the Earth and its ecosystems, I depict how a single cedar tree transforms into something far greater, becoming a safe haven for all animals.

「分け合う空」は、ある安らぎの場を記録した詩です。私はこの詩を、個人的な観察から、環境保護に関する普遍的なメッセージへと昇華。地球とその生態系を共有するという私の使命において、一本の杉の木が、いかにしてはるかに偉大な存在へと変貌し、あらゆる動物にとっての安全な避難所となるのかを描き出しています。

Shared Sky

A magnificent visitor appears
His elegant colour steers
Across the vast sky

The massive wetland bird soars
His slender neck explores
Into the cast away

With its powerful wings
A spring heron
Has he taken
Flight far from
Its nesting ground

Caught in a glimpse of rivalry
Chased by a flock of sea gulls

With its high stealth
A spring heron
Has he vanished
From far fright
Their territory bound

Camouflaged in a dense dark den
Circled by a flock of sea gulls

With its centred patience
A spring heron
Has he protected
So fierce and firm
The cedar tree
A documented sanctuary

分け合う空

現れる壮麗な訪問者
その優雅な色彩が
広大な空を横切る

舞い上がる巨大な湿地の鳥
その細い首は探る
遠隔地へと

力強い翼で
春のサギ
巣から遠く離れて飛び立ったか

強敵争い垣間見て
追われるはカモメの群れ

高い隠密性で
春のサギ
縄張り恐怖から姿を消したか

暗い茂みに身を隠し
旋回するはカモメの群れ

揺るぎない忍耐力で
春のサギ
杉の木を守ったか
勇敢で毅然とした
記録に残る安らぎの場を

This poem aims to raise awareness of the lives of marine life and the health of the ocean.

A Feathered Assistant

Day.8 🐦🌳 "A Featherd Assistant" is a poem about a small bird, a female juvenile robin that visits the garden. It captures her foraging on the ground while the garden is being watered or immediately afterward. Hopping across the damp earth, she pecks at insects; her movements evoke scenes typical of the forest ecosystem, reminiscent of the interactions between medium-sized mammals and small birds. 🐦🌳 「羽のある相棒」は、庭にくる小さな鳥、メスのヨーロッパコマドリ若鳥を詠んだ詩です。庭の水やり中やその直後に、彼女が地面で餌を探す様子を観察しています。彼女は、水で湿った地面をぴょんぴょんと移動しながら、虫をついばんでいきます。その姿は、森の生態系の中で中型の哺乳類と小さな鳥たちの間で見られる光景を彷彿とさせるものです。 🐦🌳 A Feathered Assistant A tiny morning star Her "chi-chi-chi" entrance The music holds a real appeal She wears a golden-spotted brown coat And has a mottled golden-buff head Her contact call is a real deal Signalling me she's ready Whatever tiny insects or seeds For her breakfast No.2 That bright, curious look Is endearing, Those big, shiny eyes Are enquiring, The quick head t...
