ある夜
何度も訪れている 遠方の梅たちから
お呼びがかかった
明日の朝に来れますか という
私は 急いで準備をすませ
車を走らせた
早朝に たどり着くと
大地は雪で覆われ
真っ白な世界に 変貌していた
濃い朝霧が 梅林に 結界を張った
私は 一人
その中にいることを 許された
やがて 古木の梅が 梅の精霊が
舞い始めた
静かに ゆったりと
舞い始めた

One night,
I was approached by a distant plum grove
that I have visited many times.
They asked if you could come by tomorrow morning.
I hurriedly made my preparations
and drove off.
When I arrived in the early morning,
the land was covered with snow
and had turned into a white world.
The thick morning fog had put a boundary around the plum grove.
I was the only one allowed to be in it.
Soon, the old plum trees,
the spirits of the plum trees began to dance.
Quietly, slowly, they began to dance.
