絶え間ない波とともに、

ひたすらに、がむしゃらに、泳ぎ続けてきた。

 

ふと、水面に顔を浮かべ、深く息を継ぐ。

 

その瞬間、

 

感じる、

頬を撫でる風

心地よい水の音

わたしを照らす陽の光。

 

気づく、

わたしのいるところ

足りない時間

大切な人。

 

ここで見つけるのは、わたしのための「息継ぎ」のかたち。

​

With the ceaseless waves,
I have been swimming earnestly, desperately.
Suddenly, I come up to the surface and take a deep breath.
In that instant,
I feel—
The gentle breeze kissing my cheeks,
The soothing sound of water,
The sunlight shining on me.
I realize—
Where I am,
The time I have been missing,
The important people in my life.
What I will find here is my own way of taking a breath.
