Thundercloud

 

My mother had a love for flowering trees. It's a love that she passed along to me, although I don't have as many, nor so many unusual (hard to find) flowering trees. Our Thundercloud Plums have just started to bloom. They remind me of puffy clouds or pink cotton candy! It won't be long until the dogwood, crabapple, and cherry trees start to bloom too! I can hardly wait! Sometimes I enjoy taking my cup of tea to the front porch, where I sit and sip while I observe the flowering trees and all the life around them. Have you noticed how they attract squirrels, bees, and birds?

Trees are such an important part of our existence. This poem author so aptly expresses my feelings too!

My Beautiful Flowering Trees


One day I shall buy some land

Plant countless seeds 

And watch them grow
Into beautiful flowering trees



A cool breeze 

Will bring me 

Sweet fragrances
From a thousand flowering trees



I shall listen 

To the songs 

From birds perched 
In the tall flowering trees



I shall play 

With my children and theirs

In the vast expanse of green 
Amongst beautiful flowering trees



One day I shall rest

Passing into oblivion

My ashes scattered
Amidst the beautiful flowering trees
