Cherry Blossoms
There is an invasive bloom
of beauty
boughs and boughs
of beauty
brought as a gift,
a bribe
of beauty
from
a friend
who later turned into an enemy
then turned into a friend again
and again and again
renewing every Spring
simply the gift
of beauty
and diplomacy.
Gentle words and deeds.
Respect for others.
Be kind, be good,
be better than war
be stronger than violence
be longer than memory
& wiser than history.
