Water in the stream making happy noises flowing by

Waking up the sleepy flowers to wave goodbye

Flowers of many colors, bright, yellow, red and blue

Decorating the rocky bank that is what they do.

 

Wooden bridge over the stream done so well

Built with bamboos, I believe it is nature’s own

Once on the bridge, one cannot leave

Though the water is still flowing, the time would stop.

 

Koi fish in the pond are competing for color

Birds in the trees practicing their hymns

Buddha in the temple is silent as ever

Blessing anyone comes across the tea house.

 

Wonderful Zen garden created at this business hotel

Not far from the noisy train station named as “Shinagawa”

Steams of people running in and out to catch those JR trains

Life gets busy in town of Tokyo, no time to relax, no time to rest.

 

Hey! Gardener in charge at the grand prince hotel

Few patrons you get are the ones that respect

My words can’t explain all the wonderful work you did

Buddha is the witness and protector of your park.
