Miyuka (Cherry Blossom Girl)

 

her hair is like a Hanami scene

gently recalling the soft memories of spring

each strand like a petal

kissed by April’s wind

it flows like blossoms in a breeze 

frail and fleeting

yet burning shyly

a cascade of colour

a canvas of light

a blooming reflection of the sakura sky

ephemeral with each fall

delicate with each flight

gracing the air with a sweetness

that lingers long after it passes

a beautiful fortune

with the warm memory of chai lattes

but only as brief as the moment lasted
