Transient Impermanent
Transient Impermanent
cherry blossoms burst
a breeze scatters petals down
denuded branches alight
echoes of bells shrill
in quiet quelled silent shrine
no one ever came
empty teacup warm
with steaming curls baited breath
never rose at all
an old pine tree that
has seen it all befall before
still waiting for snow
moonlit pond reflects
a timeline, now intransient
none ever looked up
old pond ripples fade
the leap of a frog long gone
caresses stillness
ink on paper dries
words melt and fade into dust
a breath once held truth
