Roots

Extending, Exploring and deepening……
Re-extending, re-exploring, and re-deepening
With their fine cirrus, keen souls and adventuresome
spirit
They make tree trunks expand and leaves luxuriant……

In all directions, in depth and recess, and in
unexplored areas
They go all out to extend, explore and deepen
Taking in all kinds of nourishment, recognizing all
kinds of things
Little by little, they pile up and realign

With all hardships, they ceaselessly and silently work
With endless effort and without sorrow, they are
obsessed in it
Doing the most radical work which nobody can bear
They create achievement and smile in gasp and sweat

Buried underground, they don’t show themselves, nor
boast, but go all out
To work day and night in all directions
Persistently probing into every place and every hole
Re-extending, re-exploring and re- deepening……

Extending, exploring and deepening……
Re-extending, Re-exploring, and re-deepening
With their fine cirrus, keen souls and adventuresome
spirit
They make tree trunks expand and leaves luxuriant……
