Cherry Tree
Missed Connections in Anchorage, AK
I miss you
I love you
I think of you always
I don’t go to the cherry tree anymore
All of the blossoms are gone
It looks dead in the winter cold
But don’t be fooled
By the way it looks
It is alive
And will bloom again
So it is with time
And my love for you
In this world and the next
Her Two Cents on Cherry Tree
While warm weather has returned with a vengeance to some parts of the country, other parts are slowly extricating themselves from winter’s grasp. There is nothing that signals the return of spring like the flowering of the trees – and while there are times when it feels like the seasons will never turn, they always do. You can count on that.
Gentle Readers: Love is personified in countless ways and the choice is generally a personal one (like our lovelorn Alaskan poet and their cherry tree). When you think about the love you have for a particular person, what object – natural or man-made – comes to mind?
