vermilion grace

4 1 0
                                    

in the silence of a spring morning

I walked along the shrine's trail

the pillars made of vermilion red

I ask the gods to lead me to the

answer I have been searching 

for in so many years

as I approach the end of the trail

the answer came to me 

like a soft wind from the East

and I knew what I needed to do
