Cherry blossom serenades soften the sky

and calm the fiercest winds here by the lake

We commit to this moment with a sigh

and chisel our names in stone; a keepsake

Like tender shoots in the dirt, we awake

refreshed, renewed, and ready

to move past even the deepest heartache

with promises that hold our hearts steady
