Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 For Cherry Blossom Petals

Cherry blossom petals, you were

Only for a brief time to live

In lovely splendor to occur.

In sight and scent, such joy to give

To all the many passersby

Who'd pause to take your wonder in,

As in breezes you fluttered high.

But then in nature's time comes when

The breezes took you from your place.

On final journey through the air,

Unknowing what grounding you'd face.

Please go with pride and not despair.

Fallen from having done duty,

Thanks from this grateful cherry tree.
