Where Blossoms Blow

There is a Cherry Blossom tree outside her window

White blossoms drift on winds that sigh,
Beneath a burning evening sky.
Your laughter once would echo near—
Now memory falls with every tear.

Your room was always bathed in light,
Your smile so warm, your eyes so bright.
The sun that lit our twilight blue
Now fades within my dimming view.

The golden fruit of autumn’s flame
Once breathed the hush of your sweet name.
But now my heart, like leaves, must fall—
With petals lost beyond recall.

The window glows with starlit beams—
And God keeps watch above your dreams.
