Mihoshi

頂上に近づくにつれ、乾いた山肌や岩場がふえてきた。

開けた場所から遠くに群生する高山植物を見ていると、かつてはここも海の底だったのだろうかという気がして、その場所が水で満ちるところを想像してみた。夜になると気温はずいぶん下がり、吐く息が白くなる (9月だというのに次の日には雪が降った)

電波も届かない標高から見る星はきらきらと輝くのではなく、白い光をわずかに帯びたつめたい石のようだった。たくさんのつめたい石が静かに宙に浮かんでいる。

その時のちょっと不思議な光景を今でも時々思い出すことがあります。（あとになって、そこは神々の遊ぶ庭と呼ばれる場所だったと知った）

通りも町も川も星も今ここからはきらきらして見える。些細なこと、そうではないことが混ざり合って曲が出来ることを嬉しく思います。

Approaching the crest, dried mountain surfaces and rocky grounds became major.

In an open patch, seeing gregarious alpines in distance made me wonder if this place was the bed of the sea long time ago and imagine how it was like to be filled with water.

When it became dark the temperature dropped considerably and my breath turned white — it snowed the next day even though it was still September.

Stars seen from the altitude which has no reception seemed like cold stones with a slight white light instead of sparkling shines.

Tons of cold rocks were floating quietly in the air. I still recall that slightly strange picture occasionally.

Later on, I found out that the place is known as the garden where gods play.

The streets, the town, the river, and the stars are all sparkling from here now.

I am glad that trivial and non-trivial stuffs are mixed up together to become a song.
