On a mountain slope
Solitary, uncompanioned
Stands a cherry tree.
Except for you, lonely friend,
To others I am unknown.

“Silence the chattering within your mind.
Up look up to the sky and witness the unseen and unnamed
as she urges me into one form and then another
in our journey across the morning sky.”
