~ Sakura

Spring arms embrace your soul in light of all universes

While winters just ignored the time of justice wrong,

Now we breathe the space of gracefully warmth,

While we felt the pain just for too long…

 

I treasure thee, in the longest years of inferno

The days, of no colors and light in sight…

The pain of hidden secrets in landscapes

And the most lovely frozen denial of fight…

 

Here you are my colored blossom of pink hue,

Against the sunny stairway of heaven

Your delight the day, and whispers of the night

Are heared when you for a short time shine upon us

 

It will make us love and stay,

Embrace your natural elegance

Your eastern beauty on our daily way…

To look at you, just every precious day

 

For us you’re our mother nature,

Our core to what is really needed,

Seasoned in those precious highlights,

And silent when the rain feeds autumns grief

Dearest Elisa, I love this beautifully worded poem & I love you! I am always awaiting spring and the sudden blooming of the Sakura, and it lasts for such a short time, and the fragile petals are so easily blown away by the winds and spring rain, which make me appreciate them even more!

It does not snow where I live, though I can see it on the nearby mountains, but i can feel your cold and longing for winter's end and spring's blossoming in your words...
"Now we breathe the space of gracefully warmth,
While we felt the pain just for too long…"

I don't know why but it did seem to come so early this year here in Southern California! In fact there only seemed a short breath between fall and spring this year, there were even days when the fall leaves still clung to the trees yet the spring flowers were already blooming.

And for you, I will go on a Hanami picnic this weekend and take pics, before these beautiful ephemeral blossoms that you and I treasure blow away...

A beautiful poem and I am so happy to inspire you in any way!

Love you!

Wow. I am still amazed by your passion with words. You write so beautifully. I have never seen cherry blossoms myself, since I live in the desert. But you make them seem sooo lovely. I would love to see some someday.

Thank you dear, I'm born with them in my front garden, back garden... and now moved to the middle of the Netherlands, they are all around too, they so precious to me, a sign of life, and fragility within a very short periode they bloom... it makes the poet mind, think a lot, about life, friendship, purity... when I will have them here, a little later, I will mail you photo's! :) xx
