morning softens the mountains,
and light begins to breathe.

at his feet,
yellow blossoms whisper of spring.

above him,
a single cherry petal falls.

not an event—
but a sign.

“兆” means an omen,
a subtle beginning,
something felt before it is seen.

the boy does not move.
he simply witnesses
what is about to become.

in quiet air,
the future announces itself
softly.
