Cherry Blossom Globe

I have been living life in a cherry blossom globe. 
The cottony flowers soften the menacing challenges
and send encouragement as ogres are faced.  
A few times the globe was shaken and petals fell, but in doing so created a beautiful swirl.  
We are not totally out of the woods, but they are subdued.  The sweet spring air surrounds and we can freely enjoy the cozy array of blossoms.
Now the time has come to depart from this flowery cocoon of restoration- I hear the jasmine calling from the other side of the country, and geraniums beckoning from their window boxes on the other side of the world.  But I will not forget my weeks here and will always treasure our time in the Cherry Blossom Globe.
