I see you gentle red and white peach blossoms delicate like the life one holds in one’s heart like the name and beauty in each one we know and the transience of oneself that we see in the quiet of each passing day; gentle red and white peach blossoms I see you quiet ones like life in all forms one observes that blossoms and takes its place in its day and that resurfaces in the energy of species; I see you gentle red and white peach blossoms the same radiance runs through you and me
