I just wonder, what flowers Actually think themselves On the eve of their falling? Do they think of the stream Which will take them away Straight to the open ocean? Or maybe they think of The stream's one-way love And its only spring devotion? It seems to me, they do not Think of themselves and thus Remain fine to the end of time.

Good thing they don't think, but just share their beauty with us.

I have little ability to gather what blossoms think. But I do know that blossoms are an enticement to birds and bees to come savor their sweet nectar and gather their pollen to spread to other trees for the dance of annual procreation.

Like dead salmon choking a river after laying their eggs, the blossoms float as a lasting reminder of the sacrifice the trees made to ensure their procreation.
