We know that life continues even if we notice nothing, and at times this aspect provokes a sense of wonder. The natural world constantly changes and evolves, and we try to understand it, or at least observe it

Comment from LateBloomer
Hi Gypsy, the sentiment in your poem is absolutely beautiful. It's as soft and delicate as the falling petals. I especially liked:
never ending
river of life
(Life on Earth comes from the water.)
Well-chosen photo and gorgeous presentation. A pleasure to read.
Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Comment from Heather Knight
Hi Gypsy,
It's always a pleasure to read and look at your poems. They are tiny works of art.
Even though there's no rhyme (as is to be expected in a tanka), the rhythm is great thanks to the repetition of sounds: blossoms bloom, sleep/creek.
Thanks for sharing. x

A great tanka, Gypsy. I thought the picture was beautiful, all those cherry blossoms. I loved your words because they blended in the cherry blossoms and the river nicely. Blessed be n hugs!

Comment from lyenochka
Cherry blossoms are that sign of spring's rebirth and they speak to me of time flowing. Your poem uses that symbol in dream to show how that through life and dreams, the seasons keep flowing.

Whatever we're doing, while the rest of us are sleeping, or at work, or working in the garden, creation keeps proliferating, not dependant on us, only on God not turning His back. Beautifully written, blessings Roy

Beautiful! Such a serene dreamlike imagination... You reflect this wonderful, magical passing of time we call life. "To sleep, perchance to dream..." (Said Will!) How I'd love to dream of this transformative cycle of cherry blossoms!
