Akishige Matsumoto

Akishige Matsumoto,
Ceaseless aspiration-fire you are.
In you Japan has discovered
Benevolence-fulness unparalleled
That sleeplessly shines
In your life's meditation-light.
O flower-blossomed heart of Japan,
India has flung open
her heart's door to you
And is beckoning
Your aspiration-peace-flooded eyes
And offering her soul's oneness-love.
