White


Shhhhhhhhhh!
Quiet please -

I'm listening to the wind.

A photo of blossoms
flowering in the tree.
Some kind of snow
warming on branches.
The fragrant air gives
the truth away.
But how long will
these flowers stay?
Wind!
You're coming back again!
Scattering the beauty.
Petals, like snowflakes,
fly through the air.
Wind!
I wish you'd stay away awhile
But obviously
you don't care.
