A Poem inspired by Fuu

This is a poem I wrote for Fuu when I was building her shrine.






Fuu is beautiful when she's sad, too. (from Rayearth II anime book)

The Winds of Memory

The wind which pushes into the future
is not of the same
as the wind which blows into the past
When I see you, I see both of the winds
tearing at my heart
The sorrow of our parting
are the memories of our days
Like leaves on the wind
I am uncertain we will ever meet again
Drifting unwillingly with the wind
on a lonesome flight of hope and despair
The wind of the past grows strong
and the beauty that is your smile
becomes cruel torment
when you are present in my mind
but not standing beside me
Remembering your words of wisdom
I wish to be carried into the future
by the courage that you instilled in me-
The wind of the future
...on that day

*It happened that my poem turned out to be a near perfect complement to a song that Fuu sings in the Magic Knight Rayearth Original Song Book (which is a cute and cheerful song). The eerie thing is, I did not read the translation of that song until after I wrote the above poem. I didn't meant for it to turn out that way, it just did... The two have some REALLY uncanny similarities. I almost couldn't believe it myself.



Yokan no Kaze (Winds of Premonition) sung by Fuu

Although we didn't promise that we'll see each other again
A wind of premonition was flowing through my heart

The murmurs of a green breeze cools the ears
Soon a sudden spring storm will come

I can't forget your smile, and deep in my heart
I will confine my feelings until the day we meet again

It keeps loosening like one unties a ribbon
A heart stopped along with the times that I can't see you

I couldn't even say goodbye
When we parted
But there is a string that ties the two of us together

Although the time we had together was short,
I can't Forget the feeling for you that grew inside me

The winds that always tell me are murmuring
The winds of premonition that blow towards my future

Although we didn't promise that we'll see each other again
A wind of premonition was flowing through my heart

It keeps loosening like one unties a ribbon
A heart stopped along with the times that I can't see you

The winds that always tell me are murmuring
The winds of premonition that blow towards my future

Although we didn't promise that we'll see each other again
A wind of premonition was flowing through my heart
