Enclave°

there's a piece of land in our town that is different. Near by the centre, alongside a highly frequented road behind bamboo fences there's hidden a secret Japanese garden. After entering the gate you feel like on another planet and you cannot believe that such an enclave exists in this harsh cityscape. Promenading in this parallel universe is like fresh air for the lungs of the soul and the term of time loses its weight.

    Very sweet! I wonder where they got the sign? It says "Commemoration of the Swimming of the German Giant Carp Streamers." I wish this garden were in my town!

    Winter's cityside,

    Crystal bits of snowflakes all around my head and in the wind...

    I had no illusions

    That i'd ever find a glimpse of summer's heatwaves in your eyes.

    You did what you did to me,

    Now it's history I see

    Here's my comeback on the road again.

    Things will happen while they can,

    I will wait here for my man tonight--

    It's easy when you're big in Japan!
