take my hand

Oh stranger

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

Take my hand, O wind, and show me the path to rest

Take my hand, O stranger, to the fragrant flower forest

Because I am impossible here and I have come to succeed

Don't leave my hand in the face of shadows and ghosts

Don't leave me alone so that I don't seem like the wind in howling

Because the beasts of the forest don't know that I am here to conquer

O my homeland, what is the way to extinguish the fire in souls

Tell me, for my determination has overflowed, and my mind is now in need

of a kiss that will make it forget the bitterness of memories in the morning

And his voice that rose amidst his screams

O full moon, let your light move from the face of the clouds

Because the heart reached the star and did not let it rest

Because the ghosts of the past began to haunt me in any open place

And I have no place to escape from ghosts and spirits, spirits

Hunting me and inhabiting my worries in my chest

And no desire to struggle

O father of the past, I beg you from my chest to move

For your spectres have bored my body, so the howling has increased

How I wished that the morning sun would rise in My homeland

So my bruises disappear and the struggle rises within me?
