Poem for ya!

If you ask the birds
as they fly over the waves
when the high tide comes,
they cry out, cry out
that they are only sea birds,
birds, they know the air.
Ask the waves about the tides,
Ask the rolling sea.

If you ask the blossoms,
Sakura petals falling
In the breeze of spring
To tell you of the winter,
winter with it’s snow,
They’ll say that they are petals,
blossoms in the wind.
Ask the trees about the snow,
ask the ancient trees.

(been doing mostly prose writing lately, but I wanted everybody to know I’m still alive and kicking....)

Good to hear from you Knitting, so glad you are writing.

Wonderful poem, I especially like the birds and blossoms theme. The dropping blossoms and snow reference is real, I see it here where I live.

We are needing rain badly, it started to sprinkle earlier this evening, then quit. Hope we get a good rain soon.
