​Pop, they bloom and scatter,​
Setting their hips as the season ends
Lying in wait for your time patiently
Will give no ground gained​
Softly, my hand I placed there
Finding a warmth grow within my breast
Experiencing this feeling the first time
​I wish to hold it near​

The promise that we made at the dawn was
​“real,” that is certain
​S​o ​I ​will believe

Dancing with the flowers as they fall​

Whish, they blew and vanished
A wavering, uncertain heart​
Gave no voice to words
Fondly, for more I wished,​
But the fingertips which held the dream​
Had in time begun to forget the form
Which they once felt​

Washed about by the stormy waves of life
A fleeting dream can only
