Watching

I watched the soft light cherry bloom
fall slowly from the new sprung branch
And held my gaze so lonely groomed
To the glowing phase of happenstance

 

I watch the sun shine through the sky,
from behind the clouds so far away
and the tall mountains the sun falls behind
and somberly passes through time of day

I think about the slipping of time
slowly passing through my shaking hands
and about the ticking rhythm and the rhyme

 

which passes, unabated, to the dark night

Yet I gaze at the flower, and is known as afar
that the light through the petals, will melt into stars.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A more traditional sonnet about being dumbstruck when looking at nature and thinking about your place in it. 

I just kind of found this on my computer and thought I'd share it since I'm new and just want to get some stuff out there.
