Floating Clouds Far Away
Whenever I walk along with you,
a crowd of comforts
comes closer into my heart:
mountains, birds,
and even floating clouds far away in the sky.
They are approaching me
from so far away to comfort my soul.
I feel as if my heart were filled
with a broad and generous warmth,
spreading out far away into heaven and earth.
―English translation: Sakai Takahiko
