A Path in Spring

_{(Effect by DeepArtEffects)}

　Beneath the arch of branching, bare,
　A path of darkness, old and worn,
　Where tender petals, light as air,
　Are on the gentle breezes born.
　The city sleeps on either side,
　A silent witness to the spring,
　As fleeting moments softly glide,
　And branches burst in blossoming.

The shadows lengthen on the ground,
A fading sun's last, golden light,
As silence settles all around,
And day surrenders to the night.
The cherry blossoms, pale and frail,
Stand out against the wintery wood,
A whisper in the coming gale,
A promise, half misunderstood.

　The path invites the soul to roam,
　Through seasons past and yet to be,
　A place to feel a sense of home,
　Beneath the budding cherry tree.
　Each twisted trunk and ancient root,
　Holds stories of the years gone by,
　As if to yield some fragile fruit,
　A whisper to the open sky.

And so the path continues on,
Beyond the reach of eye or mind,
A fleeting, fragile, perfect dawn,
A memory the heart can find.
For though the blossoms soon must fall,
And pavement feels the weary tread,
The beauty holds the soul in thrall,
A silent promise, softly said.
