Wild Cherry

Spring brought forth the dusting of grandeur The blossom exploding from baring bud, Showering lawns with lilac dander. A benediction bound in nature’s love. Branches laden, heavy with flowers Sweet adulation in perfumed repose, Beauty distinct fragrant overpowers Consuming the senses is manic throes. Then it fruits, its summery shift To languish berries bright bursting red For us to pick as the seasonal gift Before the tree starts to Autumnal shed. Start again your sleep encrusted with snow Until the awakening when winter goes.
