cherry petals on a river

cherry blossom petals fall on the river
fragile and delicate, they drift away
showing how those petals will bloom again and then fall once more
moments in time swept by the current of time.

time present and time past
are carried together in the same flow
all time is unredeemable, just as petals
are destined to fall.

the joy that fades, the sorrow that lingers
the corridors not walked, the doors not opened
all dissolve into the river's endless motion

everything changes, and will continue to change
and in the face of that, nothing can be done to accept the change
which pheraps, is the only things that will be

forever.
