Sight

Cherry blossoms fall,

Soft petals kiss the still pond—

Spring’s gentle embrace.

Sound

Whispering pines hum,

A distant owl calls at dusk—

Nature’s lullaby.

Taste

Bitter green tea sips,

Lingering warmth on the tongue—

Zen in every drop.

Touch

Silk kimono glides,

Cool breeze against warm skin—

Sensual delight.

Smell

Sweet plum incense burns,

Fragrant trails in temple air—

Memory’s perfume.
