Japanese Forest Grass

Even if they scatter, even if they scatter

In spring, they sprout

And bloom once again

Japanese forest grass is a perennial plant

In the early days of autumn

Purple ears cluster together

Bending low and heavy

They bloom into flowers

Japanese forest grass is a wild flower

Even without being cultivated by anyone

Quietly by the roadside

They open their flowers

Blown by the wind, they scatter

Scattering, they sprout anew

Because they know the wind

They do not lose to the wind

Feeling it with their bodies

Remembering everything

Without resisting

Gently, gently

The wind-knowing grass lives

Knowing you

Bending to the heavy, ripened ears

Blown by you

Quietly blooming by the roadside

Because it knows the wind

It does not lose to the wind

Feeling it with its body

Remembering everything

Without resisting

Gently

Gently

The woman who knows the wind

Lives
