Inochi no Hikari (The Light of Life)

Inochi no Hikari (The Light of Life)

Dyed blue
Tinted in love
Blue is eternal

This world is fleeting and vague…
Even if life is the blink of an eye, scattered, ephemeral
There is life in this one drop
Light, once emitted, does not disappear
Not even a thought expressed ever vanishes
Light and sound envelop the wind
Signs of life
Make a path to eternity

Higher and higher
Blue sky, shining heavens
Blue is the light of life which is always connecting our world

In the hope that through karakami the world will be at peace and people will be happy.
