Harukaze | 春風

春風に吹き出し笑ふ花もがな
harukaze ni / fukidashi warau / hana mogana

A Spring breeze is blowing,
I’m bursting with laughter
wishing for flowers

— Matsuo Basho, Spring, 1668

-

In spring's arrival, the sakura bloom,
Petals dance, dispelling winter's gloom.
A girl in red kimono stands so still,
As the wind whispers secrets, a gentle thrill.
Beneath the cherry blossoms' fleeting grace,
Her laughter echoes, a tender trace.
The breeze carries dreams to skies anew,
In this moment, pure and filled with dew.
