Cherry Blossom

A wonderful sight to behold.
Your grandeur is more
Than meets the eye.

From absolutely spectacular bloom
Until you've fallen in grace
Meeting earth, withering 
Like snow with an ebb
And flow of gentle breezes.

Symbolising life;
Powerful, exhilarating, sublime 
Yet short lived.
Reminding us how brief our lives are.

Sweet cherry blossom 
Bringing hope,
Also dreams.
Endless opportunities bursting 
Foreseeing for future reference.

Remembering loved ones
Showing life's beauty
Promising starting something new 
Whilst shedding what's old.

Blessed Sakura 
After all, we are you.
