Beneath the cherry blossoms’ fleeting grace,
Whispered tales of seasons’ gentle embrace,
In Kyoto gardens where time stands still,
Zen whispers through the air, a tranquil will.
Lanterns glow in the twilight’s tender hue,
Shadows dance as ancient stories renew,
Geishas glide with elegance, serene and bright,
In the heart of Japan, a mesmerizing sight.
Temples rise against the morning’s gentle breath,
With prayers that transcend both life and death,
In Shinto shrines and Buddhist sacred halls,
The spirit of Japan within these walls.
From bustling markets to quiet mountain streams,
Every moment holds a thousand dreams,
The essence of Japan in every scene,
A land where history and present convene.
