On Autumn leaves and au-burn haze, Running on wild and empty fields, Soon the spring would come and bloom, And when the roses burn ablaze, But Now the fire has reached my room, Where i could stare in unending gloom, Soon i would burn in ashes so black, Asking the flame what do i lack, You are the flaw says the flame, Nor to love ,Nor to tame, Then only death is i wish and long, As i am not a bird with a pretty song, Nor to cage ,Nor to claim, Only to burn on a burning stake, If i stay ,If i stray; Shall i be bound ,Shall i be caged Either way is to burn away; To breathe, to live is a mortal's pray, Either way im bound to break, I won't strive ,i won't thrive, This time i'll burn alive. __tsuki no ume.
