Ballad of the Cherry Blossom

by Brooke Zylka

Whisper sweet Cherry Blossoms as I sit below your majestic branches

as the spring wind blows gently.

My soul is calmed by the warmth of the sun and blue sky back drop beyond

your rustling pale pink blossoms.

At this moment time is frozen as my spirit rests peacefully in your presence.
