Cherry Blossom

A gentle breeze ruffles through my fragile skin

A sign of a new life that is about to begin

The trees still wear their icy veils upon their heads

Reminding me of a winter that brought me dread

I once could hear the ice crunch beneath my feet

Now my ears are deaf to my heart's own beat

The Sun has been tucked away in the distance

It's radiance now only a faint remembrance

A new warmth stirs inside my veins

As the ice storms turn to gentle rains

Veils begin to slip revealing a new sight

That shimmers in springs first light

Birds soar through the clouds and sky

Taking away my doubts as they fly

Flowers begin to dance in the breeze

To a song sang by whistling trees

This black and white world is now full of hues

And its all because of you
