Cherry Blossoms- Yoshino Sakura

Your beauty and delicate nature, indeed we cannot deny Yet having such a short life span, you somehow eventually die Like the transient nature of mist and clouds, you superbly reappear Then breathtakingly take your time to freshen up the air A majestic symbol of power, knowledge and spiritual pulchritude Celebrated blossoms attained in Spring you've magnificently exude You evoke an artistic comparison through your bright ruddy hue And in the night when we're asleep your petals the skies bedew Your flowers are nearly pure white, and tinged with the palest pink, Without hesitation you shrivel and fall before I could even blink Your spiritual and cultural significance is never an incomplete Accompanied by your long weeping branches are flowers so very petite So stunning and stupendously, you lay about the trees And even when you've carpeted the ground, your beauty never cease ©RashanaKing2010
