sakura petals
falling like snow on the ground
not melting like
the sorrow of a woman
savoring the pain
so gently with dignity
purification of the soul
strengthening life
hibernating like a fish
for soon it will be spring
the buds start to appear
and the waters shall have its ripples
another flower unfolds
another love shall come and
i shall dance again
like a child on the rain
