Blossoms

Pink petals falling

Gently from the sky,

Like snow upon blades

Of green is where they lie.

This dusting of delicate

Confetti-like curls

Rest in heaps of crimson 

And dark cherry swirls. 

As creamy white butterflies

They flutter to my feet,

Dancing in pirouettes,

Kissing as they meet.

Alas, the north wind

Blows cold one day 

And this transient beauty

Is swept all away.
