When a firefly comes to my window sill, you also come to see.One night I saw a firefly outside of my window. "Oh, a firefly!" I exclaimed.When I went to the window to look at it, my boyfriend also came to the window. Fireflies are born just to live and love for only a week, and then to die. The beautiful but short-lived glow of the fireflies is the proof of their love. Lovers are drawn closer together through the mediation of the romantic fireflies. Being in love is wishing to share the same thing at the same time, and having opportunities for such moments to occur. It was a casual but happy scene of two lovers.
[season word] firefly Standing in amazement at the beauty of rain-wet hydrangea, my breasts too get wet.I saw a hydrangea in full bloom, and I just stood in front of it in amazement. Hydrangea usually bloom about breast-high, and because they bloom in the rainy season, each blossom holds a lot of water.After a while, when I was about to leave, I noticed that all around my breasts, my blouse was wet from the hydrangea. This tells me that I had been standing before the flowers for a quite a while. I must have lost track of the time while I was absorbed in my thoughts.
[season word] hydrangea Memories of reed, knowing no one finer than my father.I meet and get to know many men, but when I have problems with them I realize that no man is finer than my own father. Not that I have an extreme fascination or respect toward my father, but I do find myself comparing other men with him.I remember when I was a small child, my father made a flute out of reed and played it for me. I was so surprised and said, "How on earth can you make a flute out of grass!?" I thought he was just great at everything he did, and this feeling has stayed with me. Don't you think it's quite common for daughters to have these feelings?
[season word] reed Leading role and supporting role dance together in the fountain.There is a part of the fountain in the center that sends up splendid jets of water high into the air. There are also parts that just keep squirting, seemingly unnoticed. No matter how splendid, if there is only a center part in the fountain, it is very lonely, and if there is only small squirts around the edges, the fountain is uninteresting. The star actors in the center attract people, and then the supporting actors offer their help and assistance alongside of the leading actors to make the whole fountain more attractive. Not all can be the star actors, nor can all be the supporting actors. When both leading and supporting actors perform their roles perfectly, the performance becomes whole. Only then, "the beautiful harmony" is created.
