…of a dream

Whispers of the dawn
cherry blossoms fall softly
the morning mist gives way
a soft lilac horizon
a calming wind in the trees
in the garden’s hush
the songs of robins fill the air
petals upon the breeze
a long pause between the notes
as if waiting for something
in the gentle light of day
colours dance on trembling leaves
nature’s symphony
brief intervals of a dream
endless circularity
as the sun ascends
shadows lengthen day grows warm
peaceful moments pass
pale pink petals fluttering
drifting languid in the wind
