Strength

In the drizzling spring night,
chilled air in the bamboo garden,
when bloody crimson flashes with a killing intent,
life flickers on a knife's edge,
I asked him,
is it trust that makes you strong?

In the starry summer night,
gentle air on the highway side,
when noble azure dyes in a darker shade,
life suspends on a foreign planet,
I asked him,
is it devotion that makes you strong?

In the windy autumn night,
tense air by the riverbank,
when patient indigo poises with dignity,
life heals scars and moves on,
I asked him,
is it redemption that makes you strong?

In the merry winter night,
soft air between two equals,
when fierce white softens and strides forward,
life wonders on another crossroad,
I asked him,
is it kindness that makes you strong?

In the blooming spring dawn,
sweet air of a flowering field,
when graceful pearl renders melodies of peace,
life finally brings an understanding,
I asked him,
is it perseverance that makes you strong?

In the bright summer dawn,
warm air between a parent and a child,
when shining golden hides the secrets of the world,
life has much sadness but also much hope,
I asked him,
is it family that makes you strong?

In the tearful autumn dawn,
unsettling air filled with scattered pages,
when flushing pink bids memories farewell,
life challenges miracles,
I asked him,
is it love that makes you strong?

In the harsh winter dawn,
cutting air in the snowy forest,
when endless black cries out with pain and hatred,
life fades into nothingness at the cost of triumph,
I asked him,
is it justice that makes you strong?

What makes a man strong?
How to make a man strong?
Twilight concludes the tales of the sun.
the tales of crescents are yet to begin.
Then one more day awaits.

To reach, to grasp, to strive, to pursue,
Not to lose heart
that made a man strong.
