Never again will the smell of fresh flowers perfume the spring air 

Never again will green trees embody summer fireworks against a sparkling sky 

From now on flower silhouettes will choke on the spring air 

From now on grayish leaves will camouflage with the sky

Never again will fiery leaves tie-dye a cloudy day 

From now on leaf piles will exist in photographs and memories singly 

Never again will fresh snow hide secrets in its wake 

From now on fingerprints will be permanently stained in coatings of gray dust 

Unless
