Yozakura

Come

closer

as

Daylight fades

it is time

for

 hanami 

see the fleetingness

of beauty

in a world of crisis

Quick

see

Sakura glow

under the soft light

of lanterns

lining

a leisurely life

Mikkaminumanosakura

 vibrant 

illuminating

and all too brief

like cherry blossoms

full bloom

to falling

to the ground

NaPoWriMo  Day 20
