Cherry Blossoms

Tiny Tuesday: Cherry Blossoms

"The essence of their beauty
Is that it dies away
So exquisitely quickly.

How could one possibly pay
Even respect to a flower in flower
Day upon day upon day?"

Yamabe no Akahito (d736 ) Cherry Blossoms (from the Manyoshu)

Many thanks to Freyjad, our host for the Tiny Tuesday challenge again this week.
