Notice of absence from arqios

Blossoming
Spring arrives,
and with it, the cherry blossoms,
a delicate reminder of life's fleeting beauty.
Under the canopy of sakura,
I am reborn, each petal
a whisper of hope, a promise of renewal.
Tokyo breathes with the rhythm of seasons,
a dance of light and shadow, of old and new.
I find myself in this ebb and flow,
a part of the city's heartbeat, its constant reinvention.
In the tea houses and temples,
I learn the art of stillness, of presence,
embracing the quiet moments,
. . . the space between breaths.
In the neon glow of Shinjuku,
I revel in the chaos,
finding balance in the interplay of opposites.

A glow of culture, and respect fill this poem. It is distinguished in character that fits right in with the topic. A lovely write that deserves a fave
Thanks Soren, quite humbling a privilege 🙏🏻🕊
This is wonderful.A beautiful description of an amazing place.I'm booking my trip as we speak.Konnichiwa
Everybody’s flocking that way of late! I’m sure to go back, myself 🙏🏻🕊
Such a painterly piece with a richness and depth. It’s the closest I’ll ever get to cherry blossom time In Japan and its attendant affective depth, so thanks for taking me so far.
I'll add Soren's comment to that.
Well the actual blossoming will be in March/April depending on the location and El Niño /La Niña🙏🏻🕊

Thanks Tony🙏🏻🕊
You're welcome
I love me my cherry blossoms. Growing up in NJ which has its imported share, having visited Philly plenty and Washington D.C. cherry blossoms have always been in my life. Sadly, I have never been to their native home of Japan, but would love to visit there one day. Thankfully, though, I do not have to go there to enjoy those magnificent trees. Thank you, my friend and yes, it won't be long now! In the 50s today. Not expecting that to last through to spring, but we are getting close, I can feel it! My SAD is longing for it! Anyway, my dear friend, all of this to say, beautiful poem, beautiful image. What a gorgeous and serene image to get to look at in your sitting room. Thank you for sharing. 🙏❤️🌸🌸
Yes, no view, no window, so a hanging picture shall do. It can be changed whenever it suits as well. Thanks Tristan 🙏🏻🕊
For sure! Pictures are windows in my view! Sometimes more beautiful ones than the view out a window. You are most welcome, my friend!
La dee! I've watched countless dramas, animes, even The Fast and Furious series, yet in a trice you've surpassed all these, giving me an indulgent taste of the experience as if I was there to taste firsthand all the delights. Gorgeously rendered with superb imagery and a delicately haunting poignancy, thank you so very much for sharing!
It must have sublimated after having lived there for a bit… just before, through, and a bit after the lockdowns and general pandemonium. Thanks 🙏🏻🕊
Wonderful flowering words arqios.
Andy
