The pearly white buds
Are falling from the sky
Shaped like little teeth
In the water floating by
Don’t know who you are
But you’re there inside my mind
On a clear day I seek them
Careful not to miss my eye
I took a photo of
The bank that we stood on
Looking out over the river
As we talked about our lives
It was then that I saw you
In such a different view
Thinking maybe this time
I would stay to see it through
The little teeth buds
Are falling once again
From a tree just above
It’s where they start
It’s where they end
