cherry blossoms
In the cherry flower
time blossoms in a cloud
the moment we agree to live
the moment we look away it passes
in the grey fabric of the sky
where our eyes hide from the rain
the music our fingers have played
at night near the forgotten winter
now we are brief eagles
the sky has shunned
fallen into the earth's cradle
belonging to one flower
our lips remember
and our tangling roots emerge
to call back the sun
and release the falling petals
time blossoms in a cloud
the moment we agree to live
the moment we look away it passes
in the grey fabric of the sky
where our eyes hide from the rain
the music our fingers have played
at night near the forgotten winter
now we are brief eagles
the sky has shunned
fallen into the earth's cradle
belonging to one flower
our lips remember
and our tangling roots emerge
to call back the sun
and release the falling petals
