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.
Thank you for visiting!
