Their color and scent fall with them,
Are gone forever,
Yet mindless
The spring comes again.

Dusk rain on the river, the moon peeking in and out of the clouds;
Elegant beyond words, he chants his songs night after night.

a passing apparition
or the sudden flash
of lightning -- already gone --
thus should one regard one's self.
