Aoi walks alone in Kyoto town, Silent snowflakes softly fall down, The blizzard hides all sounds and light, A world of white, a dreamy sight.

She wanders streets both new and old, Past temples, gardens, stories told, In the silence, she hears the snow, Softly singing as it flows.

The night is dark, but Aoi sees, A world of beauty and mysteries, In the blizzard's gentle embrace, She finds her peace, a sacred space.

And as she journeys through the night, Her heart is filled with pure delight, For in this moment, she's alive, Aoi's spirit soars, she thrives.
