Those Delicate Beauties...

Sakura さくら
さくら さくら
のやま も さと も
みわたす かぎり
かすみ か くも か
あさひ に におう
さくら さくら
はな ざかり
さくら さくら
やよい の そら は
みわたす かぎり
かすみ か くも か
におい ぞ いずる
いざや いざや
みに ゆかん
Technically, I am 3 months too late for the Sakura season but as the saying goes, better late than never. Thinking initially that we might be relocating, I felt that I must pay tribute to these beautiful yet delicate blossoms with this simple Japanese folk song which I learnt as a child. However, with things starting to look perky on the home front (hint: we might be around for more Hanami sessions afterall!), I shall not attempt to further describe their beauty as words are rendered worthless when it comes to Mother Nature's works of miracle. So, pack your bags and come on down for a spot of Hanami in 2010!
