F o u r S o r r o w s
(dedicated to Matsuo-sensei)

I
I walk through this cold Earth
Holding on to the only Truth I know: Life.

II
Let the Sea of time wash me
Of this Guilt that has stained my heart within.

III
The Breeze that touches my face...
Like Memories of my Childhood -- fleeting.

IV
The breadth of Revenge:
The Fire that keeps me alive -- so too, consumes me.
