Poem to Nuriko

Written by Kourin

Willow*

The crying willow

reflected in the lake -

A reflection of the dead past,

The reality of the future.

Even mirror images are never the same.

Written into destiny

Time for the reflection to separate.

A warm wind blows through the willow leaves.

* if you didn't get it - Nuriko's Seishi symbol is a willow. The willow in my poem could be either a willow tree or Nuriko, whichever you like; or both. (I won't explain this poem any more)
