blossoms on a cherry tree

spring flowers

is love so fleeting? 
growing like the blossoms on a cherry tree
a sudden bloom, as if overnight
spring has come, and 
for a few moments our hope renewed
under a warm sun and
birds in song.
magic unfolds around us, and 
we dream before the flowers fall 
that somehow spring and 
love and 
we will live 
in an eternal bloom.
