Hearts Falling Into Cherry Blossoms
Blossoms scattered
Memories
Blown by the wind
They always come again
Dancing in the breeze
Ripples on the water
Fluttering
Forgotten colours
Reflections
Of hanging branches
Drowning in beauty
Life ended
With dignity and splendour
Like fragranced silk
Made more beautiful
By their very brevity
Not an end
But an outpouring of life
Nothing lacking
Offering themselves
As in your absence
Your soul remain
Your voice stirs
You linger everywhere
Long after the candle dims
It lights the path of dreams
You follow me into sleep
Swirling silently
In my mind
As the wind
Is in the leaves
And the flowing stream
Is murmuring
Your sigh stirs
Everywhere
Everywhere
Such yearnings
From distant shores
We look upon the moon
Beneath this sky we share
And we are as raindrops
Merging with the sea
Past seen and unseen
Hearts beating as one
Dreaming
Of what lies out of reach
Impermanence
The cherry
Wildly scattering herself
Petal by petal
Day and night
Merge
Time passes
Without notice
We will meet again
On that path of dreams
The memory remains
We bloom and fall
And the wind lifts us up
Year
After endless
Lonely year

I’m glad you enjoyed it Nancy – there are heaps to choose from if you want a nice read or a sad read (or sometimes a very dark read!)
