Cherry Blossom Tree

look at this tree
next to my window
a few months ago
it's branches were bare
and grey
like the thunderclouds
floating in the sea-blue sky

now they are full of pink and white blossoms
and every time i'm passing by
i stop
and take a deep breath
to smell the scent of the blossoms
the smell of bubble gum
and parfume

but in a few months
the blossoms will fall off
before the leaves will turn brown
and they will also find their way
to the dirty ground

but you should never forget
that the blossoms will come back
to fill the air
with that scent of bubble gum
every single year
over and over
