When the Sakura flowers wither and fly again...
currently listening to the above named japanese song by a female singer named Zhong Dao Mei Jia. her voice is captivating. as i close my eyes and immerse myself into her music, images begin to form again.
There's a sakura tree in the middle of a grass pasture. The branches boast of bright and beautiful sakura flowers. There is a lady sitting at a bench just beside this tree. She seems to be waiting for someone.
She patiently sits and waits. The wind howls and blows. Soon, the flowers withered and they were blown away, raining onto the lady. She sits still, occasionally raising her hands to view the flowers tt landed on her hand.
Sakura flowers grow and bloom again.
Unknowingly, a teardrop glides down her cheek. She is weeping. She begins to cry uncontrollably, her shoulders jerking violently. Her face spells of despair.
Why is she crying, you wonder. Flowers withered and blooming signify the passing of a year, a completion of a cycle of seasons. But she was still alone. someone important did not return to her arms.
Do you still remember your roots? Your family, the very place where you grew up and formed your dreams? Is there someone patiently sitting beside tt sakura tree?
When you have gone out exploring and conquered the world, would u remember the green pasture where u once roamed? - JasZz,2006
