Sakura Season

Sakura season arrives

like a whispered secret

that teaches us beauty lies in the moment

in the fall

in the flight

in the way something brief

can still feel eternal.

They bloom not in boast

but in quiet reverence

a fleeting gathering of pale pink pollen.

Beneath the branches, time slows

and drifts away with the season

memories gather in the grass

and every falling petal

is a promise 

that even the briefest beauty

can still feel eternal.
