Bitter brew in tiny cup

Past whispers waking up

Sunset paints a paper sky

Autumn leaves just drift on by

Café lights soft and warm

Old vinyl records worn

Memories in every sip

Sweet desserts on fingertips

In the moment fleeting fast

Echoes of a distant past

Wabi-sabi guides the way

In the end nothing can stay

Wood and stone blend the old

Secret stories left untold

Silence in the gentle breeze

Nature’s art as time it frees

Brownie crumbs and quiet smiles

Walk with me for just a while

Find the beauty in decay

Lost in all the words we'll say

In the moment fleeing fast

Echoes of a distant past

Wabi-sabi guides the way

In the end nothing can stay
