Dawn mist lingers on –
Cherry blossom petals drift,
Time’s river flows by.

Dawn’s first light breaks through –
Dew-laden grass bends gently,
Cicadas stir, hush

Dawn cherry blossoms –
Dewdrops mirror fleeting thoughts,
Shadows lengthen, fade

Mist drifts slowly on –
a withered leaf softly falls,
spring begins to stir.

Dawn cherry blossoms –
Fingers dance on keys, minutes
Slip into shadows

Spring mist rising –
Dreams drift through quiet branches,
Hours fade away.

Dawn mist lingers –
Dewdrops on spider’s silk,
Cherry buds unfurl

Fading spring sky –
shadows stretch across the floor,
wind hums through branches.

Frosted twilight –
branches sway in quiet streams,
moonlight softly fades.

Spring breeze whispers –
scattered leaves on quiet ground,
shadows stretch afar.
