Silent snow falls on Kyoto's ground,

A hush in the air, not a single sound.

Amidst the flakes, I learn to let go,

To release my worries and go with the flow.

The world moves on, and so must we,

But sometimes we forget to stop and see,

The beauty of life passing us by,

Lost in the chaos, we forget to try.

So I stand here, watching the snow,

Feeling the cold, and letting it go,

With each passing moment, I feel more free,

Taking the time to just be.

The snowflakes dance, a mesmerizing sight,

Reminding me to live in the present, not just in hindsight.

Letting go of what's been and what's to come,

Embracing this moment and finding peace in some.

Silent snow falls on Kyoto's ground,

A reminder to let go and look around,

To appreciate life's fleeting grace,

And take the time to see its beautiful face.
