Places and times

can be special

for different reasons.

Describing why isn’t easy.

It’s about feeling.

Being in Kyoto

during cherry blossom

is one such experience.

Crowds throng

to ‘be there’.

There is so much 

cherry blossom

it’s like being in

a cloud,

a warm hug

of pinky, white petals.

It’s as if you are

floating in cherry blossom.

We walked a lot

but the precious memory

of bathing in the blossom

will remain

and bring

a contented smile.
