CHERRY TREE (A Poem)

Sowed in my dreams
In that lonely Winter
You blossomed in Spring
In the arms of the Mother

The caterpillar
Crawls to you for bearings
Digesting your strength
To carry its wings

The sullen earth
Touched by your roots
Savored your vines
To speak of the Truth

You stand before me
With the air of a sweet day
You nourish my life
With your innocent ways

My cherry tree
You glow so bright
You are my Spirit
My Love and Light.

(For D.C.)
