Recently I saw while on a walk two seedpods; one lay cracked and empty, while the other was whole still. There were no other seedpods about, except high in the tree. This struck me as so poignant a scene, that I could not help but write this verse around it.

A sketch, perhaps a metaphor.

While waiting for work in my part time job, I stood in front of the cutlery cupboard and noticed an u usually fresh and clean air. After breathing this for awhile, my anxiety left me, and I grew calm. So, this verse.

Composed in response to the lyrics of the main theme of the film Princess Mononoke, composed by Joe Hisaishi.

My attempt at Sabi. Its definition here: an understatement hinting at great depths.
