But sits at the root A knotted secret Fiber from the heart Endless spiral. You look at seasons passing by, Fulfilled difference. Oh solitary creature Your life in parallel, Tense, but never cruised, It redounds in ashes, And fades under the beauty. Oh helpless cherry-tree You die. Premature.
In the dark key of F minor, an emotionally charge personal cry against God: the tragedy of the loss of virtuoso pianist to whimsical fate, God’s design.
