Cherry Blossoms

we are cherry blossoms in the wind here one day gone the next the petals floating gently to the ground like small silk snow flakes these are the years we've lived each one precious disappearing in the blink of an eye the cherry's scent so soft and sweet its the laughter we share with others and the joy we bring cherry blossoms are not beautiful because of how they look the beauty of a cherry blossom comes from its fleeting nature the way it seems to bloom only to disappear once again in the blink of an eye in that sense every human is a cherry blossom in the wind
