James Hart - Cherry blossom trees

Описание

Lining the long avenue into school Like a glorious festive bower greeting its bride Like a returning battalion saluting its guard With their shades of white and pink Now as a Vicar, I meet them again crouching Along the path to the Church, their flowers Bunched tightly together as if seeking protection, Their gentle flowers too exquisite for spring winds Nougats of concentrated beauty delighting passers-by Cars passing by too quickly to take in their wonder Butterflies fluttering from branch to branch They too captivated by nature’s extravagance Too soon they’re gone and we’re left only with The memory of a sight beyond human creation A spring that points forward to a glorious summer A presage of abundance to come. ©2009 James Hart James Hart poemhunter.com/poem/cherry-blossom-trees/
