Autumn Colors - 秋色


Inspired by my coming autumn vacation in Kyoto...

秋時楓衣嵐山夢 With the changing attire of maples in autumn, I will be dreaming of Arashiyama,
橋上借意渡月逢 What an idea for a chance encounter on the bridge with the crossing moon1.
熙來攘去盡難訴 In this hustle and bustle, how is my heart to pour out to thee,
唯歎緣在桂川松 Alas my fate is sealed with the pines by the Katsura River.

1. Togetsukyo literally means "moon crossing bridge".
