Welcome to Thematic Attic..
Cherry Blossom Beauty
Thursday March 21 , 2013 Beginning of Spring
As
National Cherry Blossoms Festival Are Held
Cherry blossom –originally called Sakura in Japanese- is the representative of spring besides being a symbol of good fortune and affection. They have been prominent in Japanese art, anime, film, music, painting, poem and all sorts of goods ranging from kimono to dinnerware.
Cherry blossoms also symbolize the transience of life because of their extreme beauty and quick death. Falling blossoms are considered to be metaphors for fallen warriors who died bravely in a battle.
Considering all these references, it is easy to understand the importance of “Hanami” –Cherry blossom viewing- festival in Japanese culture.

Where every things smell so sweet
See the blooms
All pretty white and Pink

As walkers pass by
Children are amaze and fill wit fun

One Night
~
One night in
Cherry blossom lane
Where cherry pink and apple blossom white met
True lover comes they became
So the poets did say
The breezes did
Make the branches sway
They gently caress and so intertwined
And the poets always write
Its cherry blossom
And apple blooms way
So what comes may flowers
And cherry blossoms
It looks like rain in cherry blossom lane
The sunshine of your smile do fade
And that gold voice is not there
Rippling notes of silent fell on old mill stream
Now there’s nothing left but the dream of
Cherry blossoms and apple lane

I could not locate an oldie after all, and this is the only photo I could find from the Washington DC Cherry Blossom Festivsal that I went to with my oldest daughter and her family about April 2010. It was a stage show at the far end of The Tidal Basin.
I really am short on time these days, but here is a quick one. 🙂 I can almost smell the blossoms in the air after reading this blog, but it will be a while before anything is blossoming here…still have a lot of snow! 🙄 :love: :love:

Sharing a few blossoms for yesterday’s theme and today’s while I’m trying to work on a new piece — a Collab from about a year ago. Glad to share it again today . . . .
WITHIN THE BLOSSOMS OF SPRING
Opening up to see the morning sun,
the flower buds begin to bloom,
their colors painting the fields galore;
bountiful beauty the Creator has in store.
Brightening Mother Nature’s room,
new birth replaces pain and gloom
as beautiful fragrances fill the air,
Spring replaces Winter everywhere.
Mother Earth nurturing
each blossom with care,
hope springing eternal
within the lilies of spring;
forever a spark in my soul to ignite,
spring gives me a feeling
so full of delight.
Spring’s delightful fragrances
take my breath away
as fruit trees explode in quilts
of pastel pinks and whites.
And I can’t help but notice
that Spring has finally arrived
and that from now on
everything will be alright
as the rose and the dandelion
are clearly meant to be.

THE SENCE OF A WOMAN
~
The fresh air that breathe
Maple leaves that fall
Crescent of lovin arms that wholes
The scene of a woman is like
A fragrance that of a rose
The ever lastin smell
Will just fill your soul
Honeysuckle sweet
Juices do flow
Takes the mind places of the unknown

HONEYSUCKLE ROSE
*-*
Gentle velvet buds
Moves sensuously as the mornin breeze
Blush of darkness its outer cords
Hot pink as it open
Even lighter further on
Bee moves into the orb so as
To gather its neture
Of its perfect petals bear
Heavenly be the pair
Nature
Doin her thing
Beautiful creations made
Scattering fragrance far and near
The light the dew
And the sun
Adds to so divine be
it spread its branches to make more and more
A simple rose one would think
Yet its more
It’s not just the flower
That grows its the meanin behind
Its softness to the touch and all its perfection
The envy for all the flowers about
Is the rose
Its fragrance will consume your every obsession
Win hearts like no other
A gift from heaven above sent
Mother nature and
Father time doin they thing
To make this world
The most beautiful place
Love of the wild rose
Beautiful to touch
Yet willin to draw blood in its defense
Rose speaks of love
Silently in a language known only in heart
Like true friendship
You never realize the beauty
Till it fades
Love like a rose
It looks beautiful on the outside
Yet pain hides inside
Roses had their thorns
That sticks
But only in defense
And the beauty will but always full you in
A rose is a roes is a rose
They say
Yet it is love all the same
