地球語の文字や文字絵を用いて詩的表現や翻訳を試みる実験のページです。
Warm and cozy weather brings elderly people out to share memories with
their old friends.
Under fresh green leaves, the scene like this haiku can be seen in
my neighborhood, Golden Gate Park, too.
After an inexhaustible chat, finally they stand. In spite of the big
smiles on their faces while shaking hands,
their hands in their wrinkles seem to be wondering how many more times
they could join together.
So their time shines more preciously.
This haiku was from
a page in World Haiku Association site;
originally published in "Haiku Spirit"
(Irish Journal of Haiku), the editor of which is this author, Gilles Fabre.
He was born in France and has been based in Dublin, Ireland;
お年よりたちを外に誘い出すあたたかくさわやかな季節になりました。
私の住居から近いゴールデンゲート公園でも、
新緑の木陰で昔の思い出を語り合う光景が見られます。
つきぬ話から立ち上がり、別れの握手をするとき、
お互い顔はにっこりでも、触れ合う手は
あと何度出会えるだろうかと、皺の間で感じているのが伝わってきそうです。
だからいっそうその出会いのときが貴重な光を放って見えます。
この俳句は、
｢世界俳句｣のGilles Fabreさんのページで見つけましたが、
初出は彼が編集するアイリッシュ俳句ジャーナルの "Haiku
Spirit" からです。
作者Gilles Fabreさんは、フランス生まれ、アイルランド・ダブリン在住、
その地の５月は、待ち焦がれる季節なのでしょうね。
