You can’t catch sunlight Music lives but a moment Will my words endure?

If I close my ears And let my iris contract My hands will let go

Always at the edge Disappear into a speck I’ll take what is left

Send me over dirt Sailing through willow and birch Back down to the land

A path through the wheat Lines laid out by many feet A desirous beat

Peering through the hedge The ways that I carried you Now you run ahead

Apple and cherry From orchard into berry Cider and perry

I flew round the world To watch the cherry blossom When on my doorstep

Ripples ride and jump Gurgling between alder stumps Smoothing out the bumps

The silver sickle Calls meadows back to my Surely the earth shines

Every open bloom Welcomes hungry visitors In exchange for fruit

Springtime soon gives way Summer marches into May Savour every day
