The colour of this flower
Has already faded away,
While in idle thoughts
My life goes by,
As I watch the long rains fall.
my life moves away in idle thoughts....... like this sentence n your poem...... how important it is to control the brain and thoughts..... thank you. tony

花の色はうつりにけりないたづらにわが身世にふるながめせしまに Fana no iro Fa uturi ni keri na itadura ni waga mi yo ni Furu nagame sesi ma ni The colour of this flower Has already faded away, While in idle thoughts My life goes by, As I watch the long rains fall. Ono no Komachi (小野小町)
