Raindrops in August
unlocks the door to September.
A blessing from the purple sky
makes a lot of puddles that
reflect a variety of clouds,
as if fragments of summer memories
want to remain in this world forever.
But autumn will be coming
the same as summer did.
The door to September is opening.
A lump of summer
begins to thaw
on the ground full of
picturesque fallen leaves.
