THE FLYING CAT
Hey, did you forget? The days with lots of dreams.
Ask the cat flying in the sky--
I’m chasing dreams, it’s a lie that my feet are stuck on the ground.
While looking up at the fluffy, fluffy clouds
In a landscape that leads from the past
Twilight I feel happy
You bring back my memories like a friend.
I could see something here without a shape.
Who knows what this means?
Red sky, blue trees, green sea--
Everything doesn’t have to be the same color,
nor does it need to conform to the actual image.
The color that is reflected in my heart is the most beautiful color.
And you are sitting, smiling
Because that is so lovely.
That day, I kicked the ground with all my strength.
