Left hanging on the nodes of time, today’s leftover voices
Gathering them together, they clear the ears
Following a thought
Far beyond the Tsushima Straights,
Wishing for a home,
Pulled into the Mongol invasion of Japan,
My weapon is lost, having killed innocent civilians with the art taught to me
The unseen voices that have continued to be stifled
Have communicated, communicated to unknown people;
Deep in the silent bay the ships proceed
Moving toward a dead end, continuing to release
The echoes of voices silenced since the dim past, now reborn
When it’s cloudy, a selfless heart arises
Asking the universe, while firing my voice into it,
Once again repeating the question anew,
Interweaving it as I go
In the wind blowing from the mainland that erases all,
Still the voices cannot be heard, but gradually a shape appears
From a torii (sacred gate) surrounded by the sea
On One Kind of “Truth”
On this small watery planet, how many people
Are searching for the Truth, are continuing to search,
And is there anyone among them who can say
“Any Truth you find will not be the only Truth”?
All people, each individually, alone, and by themselves-
Why does the “Truth” of more than 6.6billion people
continue to be ignored by Heaven,
While time slips idly by, simply passing away?
Transcending the color of skin or ethnicity, making borders disappear,
Sacrificing national profit,
Even though progress is slow, walking hand in hand,
Moving slowly forward- Who is preventing this?
Though the century changes, the confusion persists;
The gods we trust in our hearts-though we continue to praise them loudly,
Hunger and strife do not disappear,
And nowhere can the light of hope be seen. Why not?
In this world, though there are more representatives for gods than the number of ethnicities,
If we cannot go beyond all conflict,
If we cannot save lives from hunger,
When “Light” of Truth can possibly shine?
Shall I ask it? When is the time of hope?
Standing before those who are starving and dying daily, can anyone save them with weapons or words?
It is but a single person who asks, the power of the spirit of only one:
Where are they, those who can save us now?

超越世间（外一首）

今日的余声，挂于时间的节点
将它们收集，清净耳根
跟随思绪
远至对马海峡
思乡之情
被拽入元寇之战
我的武器丢了，曾用所学技艺杀害无辜百姓
那些不断被扼杀的无形的声音
一直在悄悄地传递
寂静的海湾深处，船只前行
驶向尽头，继续释放
自黯淡的过去被缄默的回响，现在重生
阴天时，升起一颗无私的心
一边向宇宙发声，一边质问
再一次重复发问
交织而行
大陆来风抹去一切
依然未闻声响，但从被大海包围的鸟居（神圣之门）
一个身影渐渐出现
论一种“真理”
在这个小小的水星球上，有多少人
在追寻真理，一直追寻
其中有谁能说
“你发现的真理并不是唯一的真理”？
所有的人，每个人，都是独一无二的个体
为什么超过66亿人的“真理”
上天一直视而不见
时间就只是这样白白地流逝？
超越种族肤色，消除边界
抛开国家利益
尽管进展缓慢，手牵着手
徐徐前行——谁在阻止这一切？
时代变迁，而混乱不止
心中信仰的神——尽管我们不断高声赞美
饥饿和冲突不会消失
希望之光无处可寻。这是为什么？
在这个世上，即使神的代言人多于种族数量
如果我们不能超越一切纷争
不能从饥寒交迫中拯救生命
那真理之光何时才能闪耀？
可否问一下？何时是希望之时？
面对每天挨饿、死亡的人们，可有人能用武器和语言拯救他们？
只有一人在追问，那是唯一的精神力量
现在能拯救我们的那些人在哪里？
