湧水
人知れず
地球が奏でる 鈴の音
一滴の水に思いをよせて
いま湧き出ずる再生のとき
その一滴の湧水を
一瞬のきらめきで
手のひらに受ける
永久(とこしえ)に
ただ 永久に
時の雫
時の泉
洪積の台地の端から
縄文の男の口をぬらし
朝夕のいとなみをうるおし
武蔵野の み寺で水車を廻していた
いま 転生への水みちをくぐり抜け
緑の葉陰でよみがえる
一滴の水に想いをはせて
いま地球をめぐる循環の旅
その一滴の湧水を
地球の重さで
手のひらに受ける
永久に
ただ 永久に
時の雫
時の泉
SPRINGWATER
Masaru Morita
At Jinndaiji Temple on the Musashino Plateau
The gentle tinkle of a bell
That the earth plays in secret.
I treasure a drop of water.
Now is the time for springs to regenerate.
I greet a newborn drop
Glittering in a flash
On the palms of my hands.
Forever
And forever
A drop at present
A drop of springwater at all times.
At the edge of the diluvial plateau,
The spring gave water to men's throat in the Jomon period,
Bringing an affluent life to the communities morning and evening,
Spinning a waterwheel of the temple on the Musashino plateau sometimes.
Through the pathways for the transmigration,
The springwater is now brought back to life under the leaves.
I treasure a drop of water.
Now is the time in a grand journey circulating around the earth.
I greet a newborn drop
With the weight of the earth
On the palm of my hands.
Forever
And forever
A drop at present
A drop of springwater at all times.
