Ichi-go Ichi-e 一期一会 Every moment is a once-in-a-lifetime encounter that should be cherished because it can't be repeated.
Pronounced - iki ghai.

In time's fleeting dance, in spring, moments bloom like flowers.
Unique experiences, never the same,
Each is a treasure, one that only lasts for a moment.
Embrace the now, the present's gift,
Because yesterday's only a memory,
A dream that's still to come, tomorrow.
Look for your reverie in this moment.
One chance, one meeting, one embrace,
Ichi-go Ichi-e, a philosophy profound,
Be fond of every encounter, hold it dear,
Let these moments flourish in the
tapestry of our lives.
Have fun with every fleeting moment,
With a world in flux and change,
Discovering the beauty of a fleeting dance,

Ichi-go Ichi-e, a truth so perplexing.
