Komorebi
In the hush of dawn, I walk alone,
with sleepy steps and thoughts half-grown.
The trees, they stretch in silent grace,
as sunbeams paint the morning’s face.
The birds begin their tender song,
and somehow, I just hum along.
Each leaf it sways, each breeze, it stays,
like God walks with me here today.
My shoes find joy in fallen leaves,
a crunch beneath the cool-kissed breeze.
And all at once, I feel it there,
the light that filters through the air.
At sunset too, when school is done,
I chase the gold behind the sun.
A jeepney ride, a fading hue,
the trees all bathed in honeyed blue.
Through branches stretched across the sky,
the light peeks in, a soft goodbye.
It dances, dreamy, light and free—
a glimpse of Heaven: komorebi.
