Oh how she dances atop the ground that is drenched in Cherry Blossoms

Her smile is bright enough to turn dark clouds into rays of sunshine

A spirit beats into her heart

One that cannot be forgotten

She dreams of hope

A certain hope that has echoed in her mind for many years

And she tries with all her heart to make that hope a reality

But the cruelty of the world stains her pure heart

The little white petals fall to the ground

Laying beside her crushed visions of the future

Tears sting her bright eyes

Black hair weeping across her shoulders

Creating a blanket of comfort

Silk-soft hands rest in her lap

Yearning to reach up and touch the sky

With clipped wings and shut lips

She fades away over time

Weeping over the loss of something that could have been but never was
