ABOARD AN OCEAN LINER

by Naoshi Koriyama

as the swan-like ocean-liner
gracefully glided
over the sea
over the blue, wide, wide, open sea
we stood together
upon the gently swaying promenade deck

deftly the camera has caught
the happiest moment
of the happy voyage
the bright smile in your eyes
the sweet sea breeze in your hair

and now I look back
upon this irrecoverable moment
in the endless flow of eternity
feeling the softness of your arms
in my heart.
