Sakura
Lend me a moment of your time; I wish to tell you about the trees.
The Sakura, known for its magic, Revered for its transient beauty, Its soft aroma, varied pink petals That pop with gentle blooms—
Could this tree also house A city of wonder-filled beings?
Spirits may burrow in the roots, Fairies make their homes In the warm cinnamon trunks, The foundation holding it stable, Calling us to connect to nature.
Magic may flow from the pink petals, Angels nesting in the crown, Guarding people throughout their lives, No matter where they go.
And if you wonder,
