Cherry Blossom Tree

Cherry blossom petals Float on down to the path of tar beneath my feet At the pace of sleet A small river made of marshmallows Build as I walk with a pace so slow that I appear To walk in slow motion as I embrace Each petal out floats the next As though playing a game of chase Building me a path Of pink cotton that bleaches me eyes with life Bringing my mind a racing To a time long ago But never forgotten Cherry blossom Tree you stand with a fragrance view Back to my childhood and old memories Everytime That I glace upon you If I twirl beneath your cheery shower Will you flood my bloodstream With a heavenly power With a sweet sent of a growing rose Pressing my being with an unseen impose So that my soul, my spirit my very atom grows.
