SIMPLICITY - SK

Long arrays of cherry blossoms
promenading in the daylight,
glistening in fuchsia and white
like glimpse of celestial bosoms.
   
And to where I stand they march on 
showering petals on my palms; 
Like drizzling raindrops giving  alms
towards the thirsty arid morn.

I wish I could sustain the time
For when I pass this path again
Won't ever find them until then,
Until another spring sublime.

I can picture "long arrays of Cherry Blossoms" - I love them, and feel sad like you -"Won't ever find them until then, Until another spring sublime." Feelings of a true poetic heart expressed with enchanting words! Love, Mala
