Blooming elm leaves and plums

Text/fairy outside the garden

Plums in full bloom

Make public and arrogant

In the garden, a piece of

An elm tree with many flowers.

The spring breeze opened the bud and the stamens blossomed.

Surrounded by hugs, full of branches and flowers, competing to vomit.

You whisper in my ear

Listen to the blooming of your fiery youth.

Confuse the magic of nature

Witness the miracle of life

but

Spring breeze also plays the flute in summer.

Flowers die easily.

This is in full bloom, which indicates fading.

What does it matter?

This is the natural law of life.

Flowers bloom and fall, not the result, but rebirth.

Suddenly, I think

This little life

What is passed on to me is truth, openness, blooming and tension.

She never talks.

But it aroused the melody of life.
