Summer in Shizuoka (静岡の夏)



Summer in Shizuoka (静岡の夏) 

begins from Atami (熱海) 

where golden sands shine 

and gentle waves come with breezes 

from the distant piney islands. 



Summer at Shizuoka Station 

is rather quiet enough for me 

hoping to hear unheard tales 

from the hills and sea. 



White seagulls at the bank of Marinas 

seem lonely like a stranger of myself; 

As I walk down the road 

in the shadow of piney hills 

and see the public hot spring, 

my nostalgia warms my heart again. 



As sunset gets thicker and thicker 

on the piney hills and sea 

leaving a long summer day shadow, 

I get on the night train for Tokyo (東京) 

passing through Atami (熱海).
