Murmuring flow of a stream
Lively roar of perfection
In the moon, a certain gleam
Crying in the reflection
Sweet, coiling tendrils of mist
Leading a path through the night
A blushing bloom will persist
Its only wish to glow bright
Twinkle against the dull sky
Brilliant splash of daydream
A quiet, whispered “Goodbye”
Murmuring flow of the stream
