Parallels of man to the sacred cherry tree blossom

Life Blossoms

by healfromwithin

Man...
a seed, given the spark of life,
growing, a nourished embryo within;
the babe, eyes alert, arms reaching...
a man, strength and purpose-filled;
the elder, wisdom bearing...

Blossom...
a seed, sparked with life,
nourished sprout within Mother Earth;
the sapling, alert, flexing, reaching...
a tree, strength rooted deep;
the blossom, beauty bearing...

A Lifetime; A Blossoming...
