Fields of Love
When Shi-ba-za-kura blossoms,
love visits Ku-ro-ki’s farm,
emerging
from pink fields.
Ya-su-ko & Toe-shoe-you-key
smile,
welcoming
guests & friends.
Ya-su-ko is happy—
but once she was sad:
Blindness had stolen
her broad smile.
Then one day,
Shi-ba-za-kura bloomed;
Ya-su-ko savored
its sweet fragrance.
Lured by memories,
she stepped beyond
her home’s shadow—
smiling.
Ya-su-ko’s joy inspired
Toe-shoe-you-key.
With love he sowed
many Shi-ba-za-kura seeds.
Based a true story.
