Cherry Blossoms

Folder: 
Love

Watch a tree

In a distant land

Try to catch the petals

In the palm of your hand



Its branches sway slightly

In a gentle wind

Watch them dance

And twist and bend



A stray young flower

Falls to the ground

Lands in the sweet green grass

With no trace of sound



The others will join it

All in good time

Leaving one at peace

Body, soul, and mind



The cherry blossom cycle

Will always move on

And they'll be waiting for you

The next day at dawn

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this in German when I saw a cherry blossom flower float by the window. Just a nice litte poem that actually rhymes.
