Anjelier (English)

The delicate petals fall silently
Forming a cherry blossom carpet
They dance in the wind like rose-petal coloured snowflakes
The mist falls and muffles all sound
And as I look up I see my mother among the Sakura

The dawn approaches but the moon remains
Unlike my thoughts of you, invisble but always with me
Through the passing seasons the vision of you waxes and wanes
I wonder what you are felling now
I look up and see your face in the moonlit night

With the deepest love and sincerity
I offer flowers for your words
This poem for my thoughts of you
And this voice for your life

Man is born, grows up, learns of love, becomes an adult
Looks for love, takes a vow, creates life, becomes a parent
Grows old, grows wiser, ends life and returns to the earth

But before that

With deepest love and sincerity
I offer flowers for your words
This poem for my thoughts of you
Flower petals dancing in the wind
And morning moon shining in the sky
Please carry this voice to my mother
With love
