Furisode

[[ I do not have local chat open. ]]






Like the salt sea-weed,
Burning in the evening calm.
On Matsuo's shore,

All my being is aflame,
Awaiting her who does not come.

I name all of my characters after Kimonos and Kimono accessories. Furisode in particular is of special interest due to its apperance and significance in my life, which is that one is chosen as my "main". Of course this goes much deeper than it seems and much can be thought up for that significance that one may not be far off the mark about how it has influenced my life. Some of it is happiness, some of it is sadness. Potentialities and impossibilites. Hopes and dreams, and regret at the end of it all. I know it seems odd to have an attachment to a piece of clothing, but I guess the road of life, along with the experiences it brings, shapes us in unique ways. Subtle things, can have more effect in one's life than one can realize afterall.
