Spring from southern hemisphere
Bare-rooted tree, exposed
Scorpio moves from east to west
Orion, we welcome you once again
An equilibrium set in the night sky
The environment is a kaleidoscope view
Where cubism kept us in
The perfume on the street floats on the wind
The call of the animals, the hunt for a mate
Where Gaia births flowers and blossoms
The farmer sets the scene to plant the fields
In this city, mycelian is hidden under concrete
In urban canyons, gardens hang over high-rise buildings
The green corridors where fauna connects, blooms into wildflowers
Going outside to watch bees’ feast,
Those that hibernate explore
Cycles replenished
The bare-rooted tree is planted, in stillness
covers itself in green from its naked past
Southeast Asian Spring
The tree that has lost its leaves,
Scorpio pushes from east to west.
Orion We will come again to welcome you,
There was a long-lost balance in the night sky.
The world turns into a kaleidoscope of shadows,
The three-dimensional scene puts us in it,
The scent of the street side flies with the wind.
The call of life This is the season of mating,
The place where the kaleidoscope is woven is where Gaia was born,
The farmers have disposed of the scene of planting the fields.
In this city, tiny creatures hide under the concrete.
The city's canyon garden is forever suspended from a high building,
The green corridors where life connects are full of wildflowers like dreams.
Go outside and look at the feast of the bees,
This is the exploration of the hibernating people,
It is replenished regularly.
This leafless tree was planted quietly,
Cloak your naked past in green plush.
