落葉あたたかうして藪柑子fallen leaves gone warm — spearflower berries

降り積もった落葉が冬の日ざしをためて、あたたかい。かき分ければ、藪柑子の赤い実がのぞいている。寒いばかりと思っていた冬にも、ぬくもりと彩りがちゃんと隠れている。足もとをよく見た人だけが出会える、冬の朝のちいさな発見のような一句。The piled fallen leaves have gathered the winter sun and are warm, and when he parts them the red berries of the spearflower show through. Even in a winter he thought all cold, warmth and color have been quietly hidden. A small discovery like a winter morning, one only a person who looks carefully at his own feet could make.
