Scarlet Cherry Tree
Ablaze in the rain,
Burning cold
At the foothills of the stronghold,
No leaf sprouts in vain.
October showcases its trinkets,
While clouds of milk spread in the teacups.
Tree, standing in my mind, coming back in brackets,
Lively, dancing, delicate in the downs, light in the ups.
The gardens breathe through Me,
All labels are soaked and shredded in the rain,
There's only space for Thee
Beyond the veil of pleasure and pain.
Teach me, oh, teach me,
The art of shifting seasons,
Transcending the small me,
In the language of the unspoken Reasons.
Ablaze in the rain,
Growing young and old,
Simultaneously unfold
Death, birth, and all things mundane.
The Source of creation is everywhere around you
And within
Each and every subatomic particle.
Surrender to Yourself.
