Wonderland (Translation-Japanese)
This is a translation from a Japanese poem by Castalian a poet whom I deeply admire, you can see her own translation of the poem on her site under the entry "Japan Poems."
This normal world that darkled
A wonderland comprised
As joy and kindness sparkled
In vastness of your eyes.
Your lips a smile were beaming
And all was wonder aglow.
That winter's night was gleaming
With gems of falling snow
Original:
fushigi no sekai wa
WONDERLAND ni natteita
kimi no hitomi no naka
yasashisa ga kagayaita
boku ni egao kureta
to subete wa suteki na
ano fuyu no yoru ni wa
yuki ga futteita.
