Fujiwara no Toshiyuki Ason
Sumi no e no
Kishi ni yoru nami
Yoru sae ya
Yume no kayoi ji
Hito me yoku ran
Fujiwara no Toshiyuki
The waves are gathered
On the shore of Sumi Bay,
And in the gathered night,
When in dreams I go to you,
I hide from people's eyes.

Toshiyuki expressed the sadness that the lady who he loved didn't appear in his dream.

Hello Kawaii crafter,thanks for your comment!!
Dreams can seem more real at times than life, isn'it?
We say,' life is but a dream'...
Tanka, beautiful...
