If I could choose, my
Own perfect adventure, I’d
Leave now for Japan.

To stroll the byways
Of the old town of Kyoto.
Heart-stone of Nihon.

I would walk beneath
Falling Sakura blossoms
And watch the sky swirl.

Filled now with treasures,
My Sakura trolley case.
And memories special,

Saved forever, safe,
Within cherry z-i-8.
Some day soon. I’ll wait.
