Cherry Blossom

fresh infant new life
and the colours of Spring
a sweet myriad of birdsong,
 and the pleasures it brings

and the bright fresh glistening
of a now warming sun
the flutterings of butterflies
and spider webs spun

the busy buzzy bees
bringing fresh beauty to life
preparing beautiful nature
for when the summer arrives

soon before my tired eyes
appears a beauty in full bloom
the gorgeous Cherry Blossom
newborn, from natures womb

and all to soon
her colours vacate their nest
then carpets the roads and footpath
as i walk on her pinkish best

on the nearby horizon
floats the azure ocean blue
before me lies a myriad of colours
as nature has been renewed

i await this moment every year
as it leaves my soul at ease
it gladdens my spirit, and eases my heart
and gives me my inner peace
