今朝の落書き

I tell you one thing that came to mind
and you smile
and simply listen
The greatness of that
no one put in a textbook
no one made into an equation
and we have arrived at the twenty-first century

No proof is needed
we all acknowledge
that such a thing exists in this world
Even without logic or grounds
without a single objective thing
all of us together, subjectively nonetheless
say, yes, that is so

Is it love
It is love

Even if nothing can be seen, it surely travels between us
even if we cannot explain it, we are surely connected

If we call it
a red thread
it begins to seem something slender and frail
and I think an embrace is far better

It is not something to teach
one person receives the one thing that has sprouted
and cherishes it

Even without saying the one thing that came to mind
I quietly smile
and simply stand there in silence
thinking of how grateful I am for that
I could answer every question about you
with something like, it is love
and surely remain one unwavering person today, too

Thank you for reading again today. There is something so fine about not giving every unknown thing a name and calling it understood, but leaving it unknown and simply cherishing it, thinking, well, never mind that.
