blossoms

when our crab apple tree is in bloom,
its petals are soft

i pull them close,
hold their perfume inside me

see them fall,
play in spring so fleeting

as they find the wind,
they blow away

when our tree has grown,
its fruit will be firm














play with us!

    So glad to see you back.

    So vivid I can smell the apple tree's blooming.

    Pretty. The hard fruit can be made into delicious jelly.

    Lovely. The petals do fly quickly, don't they? Thanks for taking the time to squeeze in my lengthy post last week. Blessings.
