Moonlight paints the river wide,
Silver threads that kiss the sky,
Bamboo sways with whispers light,
A crane calls, fading out of sight
Sakura falls in the breeze,
Dancing softly with the trees,
Each petal fades but still it shows,
Beauty lingers, even when it goes
Oh, falling petals, nothing stays,
But your memory, it never fades.
In the moments, truth is found,
Like waves pulling back to the ground.
Lanterns glow on water clear,
A borrowed light to bring us near.
Ripples form where stories lie,
Stars above and tears in the sky
Morning sun, a gentle rise,
Colors paint the softest skies.
Though the river keeps on wide,
The heart holds the truth inside
Oh, falling petals, nothing stays,
But your memory, it never fades.
In the moments, truth is found,
Like waves pulling back to the ground
