Heiichi Sugiyama

The One Lofty And Alone

One topmost windowpane always attracted my eyes as I passed by the building. He was the first to feel a premonition of dawn and reflect the eastern sky. He also held the evening glow as the sun was about to set, sinking the town into dusk. And he embraced warm lamplight inside when the night finally stripped away the daylight.
