This morning,
waking from dreams of cherries;
snowflakes fill the air-
swirling in the dawns first light,
they whiten the bare tree limbs.

giving those tree limbs thirst and a poignant kiss of life...softly, gently combining everything...

Oh this was so lovely!

what do u get when cherry
blossoms and snowshowers
share one man's dream and
call back to morning?

a man celebrating a birthday
on the brink of springtime
happy happy

just a few days ago i was eating the ripest cherries...they were so soft and sweet and just burst when bitten....and i sat and thought about the winter that would soon be here....
meanwhile...you crave spring.
cherries are sweetest when youve waited a long cold winter of wanting...
..but even if it snows outside, at least spring reside in your heart.

they say its your birthday? well then, HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear friend...dont forget to make a wish when you blow out the candles!

Yes, it seems to have been an intense, long  harsh winter, and recently, nature has been teasing us here with a taste of spring.

cherries are sweetest when youve waited a long cold winter of wanting...
..but even if it snows outside, at least spring reside in your heart.

Oh yes, and as your winter approaches, your heart I know continues to shine warm and bright

they say its your birthday? well then, HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear friend...dont forget to make a wish when you blow out the candles!

AWWWW!  Thank you dear Dawn....Big ~P

Happy belated Birthday!

I enjoyed your Cherry Blossom Dreams very much!

You made me remember  the white carpet that forms under the cherry trees when the petals fall ...

Love and may all your dreams manifest!

(big angel hugs) Awwwwwwwww, this is sooooooo gorgeous, sweet friend, I too love the vision sooooooooo much as cherry blossoms and lilacs spread perfume and color that bleeds across the skies and it all tastes sweet like cotton candy, bring reminiscence of innocence and youth! (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, you sugar-coated this vision with vanilla snow, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Paul, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Choshi -- sooooooo beautiful!  We rarely get snow where I live, but we do have a young cherry tree and it's blossoming right now -- it's blossoms are white, like snow.

Jo,
It sounds beautiful. Up north here the branches are still bare, in fact, there is snow predicted in the weather forcast... ~P
