And SHADOW, this time it ain't gibberish, which is so rare. I even kinda like it.

In the silence indifferent to worldly affairs
They linger"

No offenses Nagoyankeeさん, but written like that I think only native Japanese could have understood. Even now that you translated I have problems in finding words like balck or river or season...It is like reading notes written by a doctor...sometimes not even native speakers can read them (for sure I couldn't read my doctor's hand writing back when I still lived in Italy).
