Hanami (Japanese word for “picnic under the cherry blossoms”)

Under the cherry blossom tree
I find you waiting patiently
On a rainbow tapestry
To share a quiet hanami
‘Neath a soft pink canopy
And flowers flowing downwardly
There, it’s only you and me
Enjoying a simple hanami
Your heartbeat plays a melody
And though its just a fantasy
The only place I want to be
Just you and me and hanami
