The Promise of the World
Chieko Baisho
The Promise of the World
In the depths of tears, a wavering smile
Is the promise of the world since the beginning of time
Even if alone now, from the two of yesterday
Today shines brightly, like the day we first met
You're not in my memories
But you become a gentle breeze, touching my cheeks
Even after the farewell of a sunny afternoon
The promise of the world that never ends
Even if alone now, tomorrow is endless
The kindness hidden in the night, you taught me
You're not in my memories
In the song of the stream, in the color of the sky
In the scent of flowers, living forever
