Cherry Blossom

 Cherry Blossoms full bloom everywhere

hues of pink, white and fuchsia

a feast for my eyes 

almost like a warm welcome to brighter days

babies, brides, lovers flock to see your beauty

holding onto branches, feeling the softness of your petals

clicking pictures left and right so as to capture the memory

laughter, giggles, oohs and aahs are sounds I hear 

of everyone coming out to see your majestic presence

Your arrival sends an energy into the air that is lighter

Bird sounds chirping to wake us up way before the sun rises

And to bid us good nite as the sun sets

There is a celebration all around 

An appreciation for earth's bounty

letting us remember the promise of hope

Though your beauty is short lived

it creates an imprint in our minds 

to be love in action

and Simply just to BE!



Journal Prompt:
