Anjelier

The delicate petals fell silently
Forming a cherry blossom carpet
The dance in the win like rose-petal coloured snowflakes
The mist falls and muffles all sound
And as i look up i see the face of my mother among the Sakura
the dawn approaches but the moon remains
Unlike my thoughts of you, invisible but always with me
Through the passing seasons the vision of you waxes and wanes
I wonder what you are feeling now
I look up and see your face in the moonlit night
Man is born, grows up, learns of love, becomes an adult
Looks for love, takes a vow, creates life, becomes a parent
Grows old, grows wiser, ends life and returns to the earth
But before that
With deepest love and sincerity
I offer flowers for your words
This poem for my thoughts of you
Flower petals dancing in the wind
And morning moon shining in the sky
Please carry this voice to my mother
With love
