SACO MYOJI     (aka SACO YASUMA)

As it is is beautiful

 

There is a baobab tree

Standing quietly

With dignity

Without thinking

No leaves and no fruits

It extends its branches

Winding and twisting

Taking its freedom

Accepting itself

while standing on the ground

It lives here

receiving blessings from the sky

Something close to my heart

That Nature tells me

As it is is beautiful

As it is makes me feel good

 

A wild rose along a beach

Blossoms gently

With boldness

Without pretension

Wind blows it

To the right and left

It spreads petals all around

Without hesitating or regret

Accepting whatever comes

while swaying in the air

It lives here

along with the breath of Earth

Something close to my heart

that nature tells me

As it is is beautiful

As it is makes me feel good

​

​

Cycle

 

A New season comes 

New lives are being born

Here and there

All over the planet

With joyousness

With singing a song 

 

Everything that has life

Goes back to the earth one day,

Sweetly nurturing 

The next generation

Brand new power

With prayer

With celebrations

 

All creatures

Brace each other

Invisible microbes

Silent plants

Take other lives

And give their lives

What a beautiful cycle of love!

 

Seasons move on 

New energy flows out

Earth is going around

Time comes and goes

Birth and decay

Decay and nurture

Cycle on the earth 

Which the universe planned

​

​

Journey of Water

 

Blue and clear water

Coming out of the earth

If I travel with you,

Where will we be?

 

From the cloud once I found

Rain was falling down

After many miracle journeys

We see each other here again

 

Water, water

Moists the earth

Water, water

Gives abandon harvest

 

Water, water

Becomes my sweat and tears

Water, water

Gives lives to all lives

 

Nice, cold and clear water

I scoop in to my mouth

Where did you come from?

You heal my heart

 

Journey of water never ends

​

​

Sky and Earth

​

Standing on the earth

the sweet scent in the air

Releasing the force you receive

from the earth

to the sky

 

Spreading both arms

Looking up to the sky

Circulating the light you receive

from the sky

to the earth

 

People, who play soothing melodies

Pray and be harmonized

With your heart and soul

 

People, who weave colorful happiness

Fly with your hope

Follow your heart and soul

 

Standing on the earth

Looking up to the sky

Beautiful people

Who connect the sky and Earth

Radiant eternally

​

​

Voice

 

Voice, it's from somewhere

Voice, it's there when I'm calm

(I hear the voice from somewhere

I hear the voice when I'm calm)

Someone is trying to tell me something

Something is seeking me somewhere

 

Voice, it's from somewhere

Voice, it’s as if afar, or it may be very close

 (I hear the voice from somewhere

It's as if afar, or it may be very close)

Someone is trying to warn me

Something is calling me somewhere

 

N Woe Yun Ya

Mei A Wee

Nune Yu Ru

Moo Ney Way Wah

​

​

Ocean of Malika

 

Looking at surging waves

Soul is being swallowed

Everything is washed away

And my mind becomes transparent

 

Tossed in white splash

Soul regains lost memories

Everything is mixed in the atmosphere

And inner spirit begins ascending

 

Waves beat the earth

Visiting from eternity, and leaving to eternity

The sounds that are echoing throughout

awaken a traveler

and give him courage

​

​

Wisdom of the Ancient Time

 

Feathery wind is blowing

Following it with both eyes closed

Vibration that never be felt

Words that not be familiar

 

Walking in the golden grassland

Feeling warms of the earth with the barefoot

Melody that not be recalled

But singing it somewhere in the body

 

Truly it is the inner joy

Unexplainable throb

Echoing the roar across the mountain

To send off a prayer

 

Putting myself in the earthy wildness

To feel the wisdom of the ancient time

Entrusting all to the intuitions

To project the wisdom of the universe

​

​

Eternal Tale

 

Continues, endlessly continues

This Eternal Tale

Encounter, part, encounter again

Changing in appearances

 

To seek whom

You chose this path?

A shapeless storyteller

Whispers truth

 

Of just only one time, this moment, this place

Being radiant

Walk, stand, walk again

With a guidance of the light

 

For what do you ask

As you follow this path?

An invisible road sign

found on the mystic journey

​

​

Wings

 

I fly freely

With these wings on my back

 

I fly up so high

To see the whole world

 

I fly to the end of the sky

riding with the lazy wind

 

I sing up on a cloud

A song of joy, a song of peace

A song of love, a song of harmony

 

A Ka Ha Na Ma

I Ki Hi Ni Mu U Ku

Hu Nu Mu E Ke

He Ne Me O Ko Ho No

Mo To Ro Yo So

Wo Te Re Se We Tsu Ru

Su Yu N Chi Ri

Shi Wi Ta Ra Sa Ya Wa

​

Let’s dance around the rainbow

With these wings on our back

​

​

Morning 

 

Snow covers all around in shiny white 

Coldness feels fresh this morning

Clear mind that holds nothing

This brand new day, the spirit bounds

 

Sun approached the horizon 

Pouring the new-born light to Earth

Crystal clear eye projects no past 

For all steps of life, eyes grow wide

 

Today, again, we are new-born

With a brand new feeling

As if touching for the first time

everything surprises me  

and makes me delighted

 

 

Today, again, we are new-born

With a brand-new mind

As if watching  for the first time

Everything moves me 

and makes me grateful 

​

​

Tu La Le

​

Can you hear the birds 

singing up on a lonely tree?

It’s a song of love for  you

 

Do you feel the breeze 

blowing softly onto you?

It’s a message from the sky

 

Tu la le, dle pa pa

Turn yla le, dle pa le pa

​

Tu la le, dle pa pa

Tu la le,  dle pa le pa

 

Can you see the light

shining brightly over you?

It’s embracing you tenderly.

 

Don’t you know that 

Joyful feeling you’ve got now

Is a guide that you can follow?
