Cherry Blossom Memories

Cherry blossom memories
cast pink against vague mist of thought
long seconds trapped in reverie
one second longer always sought.

For how does one measure sorrow
if not by comparing to joy?
Left weak they wilt come the morrow
unused petals only annoy.

But held softly in minds fingers
they cast free their rosy lightness
in them, memories scent lingers
and days become filled with brightness.

Cherish each of these soft blooms of thought
cherry blossom memories
for in them the future is caught
to be set aloft on hopes breeze.
