Rest in Peace Blossom
March 6, 2017
March 2017 - April 2017
Here lies the blossom
In its place a green leaf
The blossom is stolen away as if by a thief
The fall from the tree a long way down
The wind helps with a large push towards the ground
When the last blossom is blown away
We will realize the green is here to stay
Or so we thought
R.I.P. Blossom

This is an epitaph that I wrote for a poetry project last year. The poem was inspired by the cherry blossom tree in my front yard and the regression of losing its' beautiful blossoms and turning green. The sobering process showed me that not everything lasts forever. The epitaph personifies the blossoms on the tree as a person who is dying.
