Captured the color swiftly

A white winter beach

A white winter beach,

A lone bed: snow falls on it—

A scene from a dream

In our hands, our fate

in our lands, hours of rainfall

stones rotate, their sounds echo

across universes

 

Across universes

empty between grains of dust

even acorns rot

Even acorns feed

Sitting in a mighty oak

beautiful sunsets

may impart to bitter days

a better flavor

a better flavor

peppermint hot chocolate

to warm a sunrise!

To warm a sunrise

light up: you might as well be

walking on the sun

Walking on the sun

is easier said than done

at least for mortals

at least for mortals

who dare to dream of walking

where physical form can't
