Lotus

Lotus

```The dry night sky spills silence
かわいたよぞらこぼれるせいじゃく
kawaita yozora koboreru seijaku
Invited by the kindness of the moon in the lake's reasoning
こうげんのことわりつきのやさしさにさそわれ
kogen no kotowari tsuki no yasashisa ni sasoware
Floating on the sleeping surface, waiting for dawn
ねむりにおちたみなもにうかぶいま
nemuri ni ochita minamo ni ukabu ima
The wind gently strokes as if waiting for daybreak
よあけをまつようにかぜがなでてゆく
yoake wo matsu you ni kaze ga nadete yuku

Living in the present feels too distant
いまをいきてゆくなんてとおすぎて
ima wo ikite yuku nante toosugite
Sadness is still fleeting
かなしみはまだいくえにもせつな
kanashimi wa mada ikue ni mo setsuna
Blooming like sleeping water lilies
さいてはねむるようにすいれんまるで
saite wa nemuru you ni suiren marude
Praying as the petals come together
はなびらをあわせていのってる
hanabira wo awasete inotteru

Footprints disappearing in the cloudy time
くもわたるとききえゆくあしあと
kumowataru toki kieyuku ashiato
Leaving behind the secret of that moment, still remembering
あのときのひみつおもいおきわすれたまま
ano toki no himitsu omoi oki wasureta mama

Like a maze, entering the kaleidoscope
めいろのようにいりこんだまんげきょう
meiro no you ni irikunda mangekyou
The heartbeat teaches of a love that was
こどうがおしえるあいされたこと
kodou ga oshieru ai sareta koto

Living in the present feels too distant
いまをいきてゆくなんてとおすぎて
ima wo ikite yuku nante toosugite
A voice calling, fragments of memories
よびとめるこえついおくかけら
yobitomeru koe tsuioku kakera
Blooming like sleeping water lilies, why
さいてはねむるすいれんになぜと
saite wa nemuru suiren ni naze to
Even now, it feels like you're here
いまもきみがここにいるようで
ima mo kimi ga koko ni iru you de

Living in the present feels too distant
いまをいきてゆくなんてとおすぎて
ima wo ikite yuku nante toosugite
Sadness is still fleeting
かなしみはまだいくえにもせつな
kanashimi wa mada ikue ni mo setsuna
Blooming like sleeping water lilies
さいてはねむるようにすいれんまるで
saite wa nemuru you ni suiren marude
Praying as the petals come together```
はなびらをあわせていのってる
hanabira wo awasete inotteru
