by Yuu Ikeda
behind the horizon,
summer and autumn
mix together.
my pallet is still full of vivid colors.
so, i can't draw autumn.
my eyes are still full of vehement waves.
so, i can't see autumn.
autumn is there.
summer is here.
behind the horizon,
they whisper to me.
i'm on the bridge of mixed seasons,
at the same time of being in the sea of summer.
this benumbed world
might not be able to feel them.
i feel,
i can feel,
all i can do is to feel.
