Always, the falling blossoms of sakura holds me in awe. This awe is as a result of virtual viewing. To match this, i have read about this awesome phenomenon via the internet.
My favourite reading, is a
fable about a girl named Sakura and a tree called Yohiro (hope), it tells the story of a true love that never ends. read more here
Long story made short. A fairy turns Yohiro into a man giving his a destined span of life. He sees Sakura, helps her carry water to her house. They continue to meet, fall in love and Yohiro tells her the truth about himself.
At the appointed time he turns back into the lonely tree that he was originally. Sakura hugs the tree telling him she loved him. The fairy grants her the wish of merging them together and the tree blossomed for the first time and every spring thereafter.
cherry petals fall
friends and family gather -

I have a ring that has 3 of these flowers across the ring. It's one of my favorite pieces of jewelry! I would love to see the flower for real. Hugs!

I like that love story. Thanks for sharing it, Gillena. Love your haiku. Perfect accompaniment to the love story. I remember learning to play one verse of the song Sakura on the piano. It was all black keys. Wish we had a piano right now.
