If you have the soul of a poet

I went to lecture at the International Conference Center Hiroshima. On the way, I passed by the Atomic Bomb Dome (Genbaku Dome).

Its shape against the sky never fails to impress me deeply. The deep impression is a testimony that inside that beauty, there resides a deep sadness. And that sadness is shared by all things in the universe, whether living or otherwise.

If you have the soul of a poet, and everybody has the soul of poet, you feel the awe and the tears flow in your inner space. Peace is a strong resolution. It is a fighting spirit, to get rid of the stupid brutalities.

Dear.Mr.Mogi
I have been in Hiroshima several times.
It felt real silence.
How can I explain such feeling.

Silence.
I don't know fighting spirits.
I want to know love and just go.

I never have been to hiroshima.
I am prayer,so I hope and pray that we will have never seen such a sight.

英語間違ってるかも

ひさかたの光煌めき雲隠れ
赤花微笑みきょう想え

祈れてないかも
