古城の基礎は2千年前の物という。ローマ人がまいた種が中世に枝葉を伸ばし、今に生きる日本人が花を咲かす。

---

盛り場での会話や、小耳に挟んだ片言を、コースターや割り箸の袋など何にでも書きとめた。

---

失意の時期こそ詩心を育む揺りかごだった。

---

85年の歳月を歩き終えた雲上で、最愛の朱実さんと二人三脚を結び直すころだろうか。

I read your comment that you don't know how to read some words (yeah I know those words are unlikely to be seen in casual conversations). Just in case I write Hiragana after Kanji here :)

天声人語(てんせいじんご)
古城(こじょう)
枝葉(えだは)
盛り場(さか[り]ば)
失意(しつい)
詩心(うたごころ)
育む(はぐく[む])
歳月(さいげつ)
雲上(うんじょう)
最愛(さいあい)
二人三脚(ににんさんきゃく)

詩心 can be read as "shishin" or "shigokoro".
And 時期 is read as "jiki", not "toki" in usual.
