To: Soaring Feather

For love I journey,
For love I will show no fear,
As the road winds on,
I will not shed a single tear.
Even in this dark
Guided only by the moon,
Love directs my steps
That will bring me to you soon.
And so I will climb
Up this mountain path tonight,
Heading to the dawn
Until you’re once again in sight.
Beloved, do not forget
my love before the sunset.

(based loosely on a very old Japanese song. Written for my story After the End. In form, you could call it a choka)
