cherry lined street
all roads lead me to you
tangled in your limbs, petals fall

Beautiful, Truedessa....."promise filling the air".......and birdsong.....and today the hummingbirds returned, one peered in my window to let me know and I rushed to hang up the feeders. We get a kazillion of them here all summer. I fill three feeders every other day and my sister has two. BIG ones!
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry, it is wonderful when promise fills the air..I hope good things come your way.
DeleteThese thoughts and words are so lovely. I'd love to be tangled in the limbs of a blossoming tree. I think it would transform me. Loved reading this.
ReplyDeleteTransformation in the arms of spring..I like the sound of that..
Delete"promise filling the air"--Oh! I picked the same line as Sherry! Actually, I love every third line, the middle line of each--they make a poem all by themselves. FIne safety and entanglement in the transitory. Scentsational!
ReplyDeleteScentsational - I like that word...not sure it is a real word..smiling..
DeleteCherry!

Deletethe blossom lined streets sadden me as I think of the wind that takes the blossoms too soon. Beautifully written
ReplyDeleteThat is true, the wind sometimes takes them all too soon..let us hope for a gentle breeze..
Deletethe calling of home in the second stanza defines the comfort these cherry blossoms can give. short but sweet
ReplyDeleteThank you totomai - you have some lovely cherry blossom pictures.
Delete'tis the smell of spring
ReplyDeleteSpring is in the air..
DeleteThe sneezing I am doing tells me you are right.
