The Youth Poem by Tatsuji Miyoshi
The Youth
the day is ending
out of a monastery gate
an alluring youth is coming home
he tosses a ball
up into the day closing fast
tossing it high into the sky
still playing as he comes home
in a quiet street
colors are subdued on both people and trees
the sky flows like dreams
