Tribute to BeeHean's Hanami

blossoms bekoning you to share

its joy of approaching spring

warming up cherry branches

willowing on upturned faces

of admiration, wonder, fascination

coming and going

staying to drown in the warmth of sake

or dance to the beat of kara oke

mingling conversations

losing myself in the crowds

feeling i am so many happy persons in one

oh hanami

so adorable

wafting fragrant

so pure, so delightful to the soul

oh hanami
