This morning I opened the front door to see something completely unexpected, a blossoming wild cherry tree. Since we moved in during the winter, we had no idea that the skeletal frame under which I often park my car was a cherry tree. It’s blossoms opened over night, turning its crown into a bright, puffy white cloud.
A Moment of Joy
through the open door
cherry-blossom raindrops
sprinkle my Geo white
suddenly countless concerns
are lost in a catch of breath
