Old Woman

- Respect
Across the water,
Proud woman on the island...
Mountains to the West.

- Fading
Vitality lost,
But not forgotten by friends...
Becoming fewer.

- Yesterday
Hazy Memories,
On the beach when she was young...
Longing to return.

- Tomorrow
Burden neglected,
Always the same question...
Apple blossoms bloom.

...(Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer)
