Cherry Blossom Time

In cherry blossom time

Soft petals fall from the sky 

And settle on your face

Like freckles, or a sprinkling of icing sugar

Left on your lips after eating the sweetest vanilla sponge 

The white-pink petals of cherry blossom time feel magical 

In cherry blossom time the world feels safe 

As if we are now watching Wonderland 

Not falling back into its puzzles and riddles –

That makes us smile

In cherry blossom time 

There is a gentle pink light 

Soft and yielding 

Like blushing cheeks

It feels as pleasurable as shaking hands with a falling cloud

In cherry blossom time 

It is not too hot, not too cold

That takes away the pain –

Inside and out

The falling petals, the soft blanket on the earth 

Are a reminder that life is forever moving 

Turning over and over again

But if we care to join it, we can.
