The Cherry Treestyle='font-size:16.0pt'>


 


A cherry tree sits amongst
fields of gray


Its pink petals float gently


Swayed by the wind


Nature waits for it to bear
its sweet fruit


It hums with energy, life,
looking towards the spring


The surrounding fields of
death


Do noting to rid it of its
beauty


Though the weed try hard to
choke at the roots


The sun beams down and it
blossoms all the same


The pink snowfall carpets the
dull field


Breathing new life into
tiresome graves of flowers


A cherry tree sits amongst
fields of gray


Sheltering all who wish to
rest beneath its branches


If you are gentle, it may
share with you its luscious fruit


And if you listen closely,
you can hear its blossoms sing
