Seasonal Blossoms

Life beyond the petals

Cherry blossoms

an explosion of colour

mark the transition

of seasonal change.

-

Much has been

created, inspired

by the blossoms

a source of relentless hope.

-

Yet for the daring

those who choose to look

past the powerful pastels

there is so much more.

-

The cherry tree

is rooted in place

all year round

mostly considered in spring.

-

There is meaning to be found

in the fleeting beauty

of the cherry tree

life beyond the blossom.

-

The tree to me

signifies the beauty

of transitions, time

the ceaseless flow.

-

Though seemingly stuck

in place for life

the tree is not stagnant

no, ever striving.

-

For life

water

the ephemeral rays

tossed down by the sun.

-

So next time you admire

the cherry blossom

do yourself a favour

when the seasons change, visit again.

-

You will surely see

the beauty in seasons

take heart and meaning

from the changing cherry.

-

Life ever changing

always worth living.
