in the cherry blossoms

by Rachel Lynch


"A flower was blooming inside the garden of my mind. The call of youth burned and I needed a good defense." 

Sullen girl in the garden of my mind. In the blue of my oblivion the sky felt like a giant dome, it swept me in like I was sitting at the bottom of a snow-globe. I stared upwards, helpless in it's vastness. 

Oh, it's evil babe. How you fill your space so sweet, like a cherry blossom in spring. If I let you get too close, you'll set your spell on me. 

So I'll lay back into the fallen petals, head up, contemplating the sky. Simultaneously overwhelmed and pleased by the inexhaustible variety of life.
