cherry blossoms fall
and the gentlest wind gust
sweeps them away…
cherry blossoms fall
and the gentlest wind gust
sweeps them away…
sweet feelings –
pink joy, white sorrow –
under peach blossoms…
joy only lives
in the now, so please hold,
remaining blossoms!…
from the budding trees
white tears shed
in the passing spring…
sudden shudder;
petals wane and fall
in the blossom cool
