Komorebi

Stuck in the cold, lost in the woods
Frost paints silence on my lips
Fir-needles whisper ancient warnings
Even the clouds feel like cliffs

Then Sun breaks through, komorebi
Pouring gold across the canopy
Your soft cedar warmth ignites a glow
I'm the audience, this is your show
I'm the quiet grove, let your river flow

Komorebi, four syllables of light
Sliding through the leaves to make us alright

Komorebi, set the forest on fire
Emerald sparks rise in wild desire
Komorebi, brand your glow on my skin
Burn the winter out, let the healing begin
Komorebi, komorebi
Melt the frost and set me free

No fear remains, my roots run deep
I taste the earth and know my name
Rivers hum like violins
And every breath fans brighter flames

Is this forever or just one breath?
If it fades, we’ll chase its gleam
Moments bloom, then burst like seeds
We drink them whole, we dream

Komorebi, four syllables of light
Sliding through the leaves to make us alright

Komorebi, set the forest on fire
Emerald sparks rise in wild desire
Komorebi, brand your glow on my skin
Burn the winter out, let the healing begin
Komorebi, komorebi
Melt the frost and set me free

Komorebi, komorebi
You made me better, you made me, me
