Yo no naka wa... sakura kana... What a strange thing! To be alive beneath the cherry blossoms. ---------------------------------- Lyrics by : Modern Bard Lyrics and Music: © 2025 Modern Bard All rights reserved. ---------------------------------- Falling petals dance, A silent, short-lived shower, Softest blush of spring. My soul bows to fragile grace, Glimpsing beauty's brief truth there. The wind holds its breath now, Nothing else can exist but this, A quiet, gentle pull, Toward the light. These blossoms are a mirror, Showing my heart its deep need, To be delicate and strong, A moment of pure wonder. Pink clouds line the sky, One breath shakes them to the ground, Transient fate known. Yet they bloom in perfect light, Teaching hope in passing time. ---------- Mono no aware... The beautiful sadness of knowing all things must pass. This brief, bright moment... is everything. ---------- The wind holds its breath now, Nothing else can exist but this, A quiet, gentle pull, Toward the light. These blossoms are a mirror, Showing my heart its deep need, To be delicate and strong, A moment of pure wonder. Oh, the gentle strength held in the wood, To rise up pure from winter's chill. A quiet beauty understood, A force that makes the world stand still. These blossoms are a mirror, Showing my heart its deep need, To be delicate and strong, A moment of pure wonder. Just this bright, Sakura soul... Teaching hope in passing time...
