Almond Blossom

Submitted by Hannah W. on Mon, 10/12/2009 - 13:45

I wait like an almond blossom
wavering in the breeze
I watch like the almond blossom
as people pass beneath

I drift like the almond blossom
among the grey-barked trees
I may only watch and listen
but I may never speak

I want to correct, I want to be
but instead where the wind blows
the branch will lean
I wish to sing but no one knows 

catch me, the almond blossom, falling

A thousand rains may come and go
a thousand storms may shake me
a thousand whispers will I know
