Pink rain floats upon April’s breeze
Covering pale green grass with
Carpets of fragrant beauty.
Sunlight slips through waving branches
Illuminating morning dew drops,
Diamonds of nature’s glory.
Pearl tipped clouds drift
In infinite azure seas above
Casting momentary shadows below.
Celebrate the bounty --
God’s gifts to His children
Glimpses of Heaven’s splendor.
*FYI -- the Kwanzan is a fruitless cherry tree, blooming lovely double blooms in the spring. There are several outside my office window -- gorgeous stuff!
Reminded me of A E Houseman's "Lovliest of trees the cherry now."
Houseman, an English poet (d. 1936)is not fashionable with critics now, it seems they prefer harsh reality and raw emotion but no matter how crazy the world gets we should remember there is beautiful reality too.
Well written.
