There was snow on the cherry blossoms
outside my window this week.
The small, almost apologetic tree
had burst forth its beauty for
me and all others to enjoy.
But winter did not give way easily
and sent its cold, icy blanket to rest
atop those blossoms.
And so the battle was on;
between the beauty of spring
with its promise of warm days
and gentle breezes;
the battle was on between spring
and winter with its icy
cold winds that want to drain the life
out of all they touch.
But
I am here to say that
on this week
at this place
outside this window,
Beauty won.
