Part of the Cherry Blossoms Blooming
Poem written from the perspective of a man.
Amazing journey to the land of ancient temples
So moved by the experience
I may have traveled there alone
Alone did not remain
I saw her smile
I heard her voice
Her laughter too
Across the sea and land
I am now tormented by one thought
I must again breathe in the scent
I search for it
Yet none is found
Recapturing the moment
If only in my mind
I will close my eyes
Remember what transpired
The beauty of the flowers
A soft and gentle pink
Like the blushing of her cheeks
Freshly in my mind
I can see the Cherry Blossoms
Petals falling all around
Swirling in the wind and all around
Dancing as they fall
The scent of Cherry Blossoms
Oh how divine it was
I want to take its scent again
If only for awhile
I dream and long for it
If only I could see it just one more spring
How I loved to run along the river
Cherry Blossoms swaying in the wind
