Blossoming
Spring arrives,
and with it, the cherry blossoms,
a delicate reminder of life's fleeting beauty.
Under the canopy of sakura,
I am reborn, each petal
a whisper of hope, a promise of renewal.
Tokyo breathes with the rhythm of seasons,
a dance of light and shadow, of old and new.
I find myself in this ebb and flow,
a part of the city's heartbeat, its constant reinvention.
In the tea houses and temples,
I learn the art of stillness, of presence,
embracing the quiet moments,
. . . the space between breaths.
In the neon glow of Shinjuku,
I revel in the chaos,
finding balance in the interplay of opposites.
