Cherry blossoms,
Floating in the breeze,
Only for a short time,
In the spring,

Dreams grow fast like magical cherry blossoms,
Floating in a breeze,

Longing to touch a memory,
Looking beyond time,
To truly see,

You Standing there,
With flowers in your hair,
Dressed for times past,

Our life together meant to be,
Only in a dream.

Cherry blossoms fall
Scattering petals across the pond
They drift a little,
Spin a little,
Land and correct course
Setting sail with the wind.

A girl and a boy meet
At a club
Dancing all night
Whilst the cherry blossoms fall
And sail under the moon

They cross the bridge near the pond
Watch as the petals fall
A foreshadowing from nature
So obvious, if you know where to look

But they were blind.

They grew up together,
Married at the age of 27
As the petals scattered.


Years down the track...


A drunken man, a ******* girl
A divorce so imminent
The tears fall as the anger rages
The petals the only evidence.

That something, some force knew,
They were never meant to be

And they turn their backs and set sail
As the wind continues to blow
On opposite paths they will walk
And the petals fall under the moonlit glow

Spring

I feel so warm and cozy sometimes,
When I think of you each night and day,
And when I see you, I see Sakura trees,
I LOVE you more than our unforgettable first kiss.

You're so high, as high as an autumn sky; I hope this love that's flying 
Through space and time.  Will hold on tight.  
I can't resist your kissable warm cherry lips; it's true!
Cherry ice cream and newborn babies fade into shadows...

I am absolutely crazy for you!

Your Soul is exciting; your Heart is Kindness never ending,
And my Heart is TRULY in your hands.
I could touch and hug you 'til my life here ends,
But YOU are the focus of my heart as you hold me in your arms,

This Sunshine happiness of your smile,
Raised my spirits so high my love,
And for you, Spring,
I thank God's Singing Angels from above.
