I Stumbled Over The Moon

Underneath this grey
And cloudy sky,
My heart has no choice
Here, but to die.

The solo bird forgets
Why he has to eat;
Making him easy prey
For cat with silent feet.

The liar poisons drink,
Serving me as friend;
But your brew was true
Until I mistook the end.

My heart chilled as Autumn's air,
You fell as Autumn's leaf;
Your landing shocked the ground
With everlasting grief.

As you ran into the sun
I stumbled over the moon;
These covering grey clouds know
Our fateless parting was too soon.

Makura no Soshi, The Pillow Book.
Lady Sei Shonagon and Tachibana no Norimitsu part ways.

Because our friendship crumbled like Mounts Imo and Se,

You no longer see Yoshino as a stream.
