Poetic Rants By Akram Sadiq

Sakura

Sakura's blooms, show off to please,

A shortlived joy atop the trees,

Springtime's gift, a shadow of pink,

Of rosy clouds, washed in the breeze.

Showers of hope, hanging above,

Branches of chocolate and love,

Shedding velvet tears for when,

Her children fly away as doves.

Sakura's born of ash and earth,

And very soon the joy will die.

Sakura's humanity by birth,

The simple truth of you and I.
