Starlight gleams from my lantern,
In yellow and red hues,
Walking through the lotus garden,
It waves hello to fireflies
Botanical leaves flutter in celebration
At the sight
Of my black cap and gown,
With a single yellow ribbon,
Brushing it's backside.
But I have yet to get a text,
To see the characters
Of your words
Flutter my by eyes.
A white pocket watch hangs in the sky,
Mourning for me
On what should be
A joyous day.
I stray from the glow,
Tears comforted by lucious blades of grass.
A voice picks me up
Subtly.
Silently.
I look up.
And there you are,
On the garden's gravel path.
In yellow and red hues,
Walking through the lotus garden,
It waves hello to fireflies
Botanical leaves flutter in celebration
At the sight
Of my black cap and gown,
With a single yellow ribbon,
Brushing it's backside.
But I have yet to get a text,
To see the characters
Of your words
Flutter my by eyes.
A white pocket watch hangs in the sky,
Mourning for me
On what should be
A joyous day.
I stray from the glow,
Tears comforted by lucious blades of grass.
A voice picks me up
Subtly.
Silently.
I look up.
And there you are,
On the garden's gravel path.
