A thunderous growl
daunted the horizontal night
as it whistles and roars
through the sky-high
swaying timber grove ,
rumbling like an unstoppable
runaway freight train
... elements of nature
howl with the reckless wind
battling to defy gravity
blossoms of Spring
travel in horizontal waves
as the surging winds strip away
shards of flying cherry blossoms ;
veiling clarity as if it were
a stunning fragrant white out ,
overwhelming all
adrenalin heightened senses ,
with a cherry blossom blizzard
wild cherry trees drip
the perfect storm’s teardrops ,
lamenting the loss
of its season’s purpose ,
well-grounded essential blessings
thrive to bear the fruit of their essence
... natural gifts supply need over desires
while the savored cherry pies of summer
fly away like dust in the gusty spring wind ~
