shadows of leaves

It's getting hotter and hotter.
Are you all right?

This morning
on the way to my daughter's house
I stopped to see the sunshine filtering
through the branches of trees of
Tamagawa-josui.

The shadows of leaves reminded
me of those happy days I enjoyed
hiking with S-san and T-san.

S-san passed away 12 years ago.
T-san passed away 5 years ago.

How nice it was
walking in the mountains!
