💧Hakusan Chidori's “Water Drop Poem”: “I'm Here”

by Aqua

I was listening to the song of the wind
Peeking out gently from beneath the snow
Weaving each grain of light
Into its petals, one by one
Like tiny feathers dancing
One petal, then another
It connects the memories of the mountain
It becomes a sign of spring
I hear the voice of the flower saying, “I’m here”

💧Shizuku’s Notes

The Hakusan Chidori is,
in the silence of the high mountains,
a flower that blooms quietly, yet with dignity…💧🏔️
Shizuku can’t help but be captivated by its beauty.
