ススキが道成なりに

これでもかってコッチを見てる

随分と走ったものだ

お昼前からずっと

渓谷へと向かってる

川の水が澄んでいる

山の木々がたくましい

空との境目がハッキリと

けど目に心に優しい

お日様はまだ高い

空気が美味しいって

こんな感じかな

さあ行こう渓谷へ


“English version with AI assistance (Claude)” 


“Bound for the Gorge”


Pampas grass lines the roadside,

beckoning as if to say, “Look at me—just look!”

I’ve come so far,

running since before noon,

bound for the gorge.

The river water runs clear,

the mountain trees stand strong,

the line where they meet the sky is sharp—

yet gentle on the eyes, gentle on the heart.

The sun still rides high,

and this, I think,

is what they mean by “delicious air.”

Now then—onward to the gorge.
