Gackt as Uesugi Kenshin

Word and Image



I look back,
the wind loosing a melody
that catches my ear

and my heart.

What far shadows
pluck notes
as eloquent,
as fluid,
as tranquil

As the wind
plays on
to caress my cares.
Loathed am I
to turn towards
these barren hills I call home.

I like the choice of an enigmatic picture together with the suggestion that Gackt/Kenshin is hearing/sensing some message/music not readily in the consciousness of ordinary people.

I often think that people with an unusually high level of ability and awareness (sounds like Gackt, eh? And I expect that Kenshin was the same) are lonely because their experience of the world is different to other people's. The tension here between responding to something attractive and pursuing a line of duty is nicely described. Well done!
