Untitled
I once dreamed of cherry blossoms' end
When the petals swayed to their demise -
Dancing all around us
When I tapped her from behind
And she took her gaze away from the horizon
to look at me,
Blurred,
was the bright-green grass
And Greece-blue waters
Adjacent to her face;
Her face,
unstirred
It's hard to believe in imagination
But there it was one day
On a computer screen,
Somewhere in Japan, very pink,blue and green
There was a garden of cherryblossoms atop hills
If you ask me why I choose to believe in that which I cannot see,
It is because there is no lesser magic
Than to believe in things placed right before your eyes
Without surprise
