cherry blossom
i whisper to the spirits
let's make some magic today
i can't do it alone
with gentle undertones
they move the soul
mere words stand naked
to touch a heart
& bring a feeling
sigh to cause one to feel
brings one to their knees in ecstasy
when the first cherry blossom
is seen on the tree of thought
then something special begins
a movement from deep within
so delicate are the emotions
that stir inside us
the tender blossom
she must be cared for
& properly tended
poetry of wisdom
sung to her in the cold hours
when her petals
are most in need
a fine mist of the gentle rain
of inflection so not to disturb
her own self revelations
& cause her to fall from the tree
never to bare fruit of her own
this is our poetic mission
we are the bringers of ripened fruit
to feed the bereft souls
who hunger for the delicate whispers
of the poetry spirits
we are so blessed to hear

What a beautiful poem! I am reminded of one I wrote a couple of years ago similarly titled "Cherry Blossoms".
The ending really resonated with me:
"this is our poetic mission
we are the bringers of ripened fruit
to feed the bereft souls
who hunger for the delicate whispers
of the poetry spirits
we are so blessed to hear"

in Brooklyn

Raven such tranquility you have gifted us with in this lovely ink...our muse must be tended to in allowing it to flourish in any direction, just as the blossoms do when swaying in a breeze...beautiful.
