柘榴の実 この年もまた 太り来て 幾千年の 旅の末かな
令和六年七月二日
柘榴は遠くペルシャはザグロス山脈の麓が故郷と聞く
長き旅の末いまこの日本に咲く
幾千年の夏みのりては落ちまた実る
人もまた同じく生まれては死しまた生る
I have heard that pomegranates originate from the foothills of the Zagros Mountains in far-away Persia.
After a long journey, it is now blooming in Japan.
At thousands summers the pomegranate ripened, fell and ripened again.
In the same way, mankind are born, die, and are born.
