Tatsuji Miyoshi

The Adolescent

With evening
A beautiful adolescent returns home
Leaving the monastery gate

He throws a ball
Into a day which easily draws to a close
Throws the ball high into the sky
Playing as he returns home

The sky flows by like a dream
Quieting the colors of people and trees
In the tranquil street

THE ADOLESCENT*

THE ADOLESCENT*

The Adolescent

With evening
A beautiful adolescent returns home
Leaving the monastery gate

He throws a ball
Into a day which easily draws to a close
Throws the ball high into the sky
Playing as he returns home

The sky flows by like a dream
Quieting the colors of people and trees
In the tranquil street
