Handed Down Quietly Poem by wabi sabi

Handed Down Quietly

Rating: 5.0


I listen to a song, cleaning a room
my granma says this song sounds good

she makes Sunday lunch
I say this tastes good

she says my clothes are cool
I say they are new
she says she always has liked the colors I am wearing

summer comes around
the green grows in the garden as usual
I trim

she has set a bamboo fan
I use it, hanging a wind-bell my grandpa bought
it rings fine as it sounds, exactly the same as he used to hear

I always have imagined a mutual sense transfers to each other
I will wake up tomorrow
smelling green onion for Miso-Soup for breakfast

It is quite easier to live the inherited cultured life than the displaced rebellious life... well written! !
