We pondered that...delicacy supporting strength. Very nice thoughts.

It's all been said. You put together excellent productions that never disappoint in their sheer power and beauty.

We enjoyed it!

J&B,

Thank you for your thoughtful comment.　First of all, I am glad you like my song and enjoyed it. As always, I was encouraged a lot.

As for the interpretation of the poem, it seems to be considered that it reflected the mental structure of Sakutarou (the author) himself. That being said, I think your interpretation makes some sense.
