Poised next to her elegant blossoms

Flowers in bloom, welcome the day

Stillness of her branches quiet in silence

Yet with the wind her beauty sways.

Through the trail of sakura does wisdom linger

Serene whisper does the breeze carry

Like magic does she wave her hands

Very much like those tales of fairy.

Faintly smiling do her eyes radiate

With moonshine they sparkle and glisten

With each breathe taken away

With the wind — close your eyes and listen.

Gracefully draped in silk kimono

Looking back with eyes of grief

With dainty steps pass by

Day’s end submerged in leaf.

Concealed to the world her beauty shimmers

Bright, yet shying away

And as the lonely cherry blossoms fall

Forgetting all worries of this day.

Sakura, yet beautiful geisha

Showing off pride one cannot see

For those too lazy too seek

Beauty lies within the sakura tree.
