Sakura Thoughts

Sweet scented petals descend on the breeze; fragrant farewell, Memories entwine in rivers of tears; love cannot dispel Dark clouds obscure the future and the sun in living hell Temple chimes echo sounds of life passing - a solitary bell. Cherry blossom heavy with mournful tears for another year The burden too great yet it is carried in unseen fear Pink and blue petals falling on ornate oak… they bring no cheer A white rose alone on the brassy plaque says – I am here Watching petals fall, silent wishes – they just disappear Yet in breaths of Sakura sweetened air – I feel you near. Soft spring winds blow the petals over the vacant dell With life bring energy and wonder to each blood cell The scent of honey on blossomy breezy that says all is well And there is no more pain in the divine – where you dwell.
