\nWhen anime<\/i> arcs drift towards earth
\nLike spiraling sakura petals
\nDo you sift for the prettiest dance?
\nOr do you embrace the orchestral trance?<\/p>\n
When anime<\/i> flames ignite into dust
\nLike twinkling firework sparks
\nDo you blink at the fiercest light?
\nOr do you bathe in the fountains of flight?<\/p>\n
When the anime<\/i> waves finally wane
\nWhispering in the sunset mist
\nWill you sink beneath the soulless shores?
\nOr will you soar beyond the moonlit stars?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
