GENIE’S LAMP: Blossom

By GENIE NAKANO

blessed, I was born in May the month when my native land blooms

spring unpredictable sun today next day rain let’s walk the path of spring

ahhh, sweet rose your fragrance makes me dizzy as you catch me on the path

crickets thrum nights perfumed with jasmine my bucket list… to die in spring while a full moon shines

Genie Nakano is widely published in journals, and her recent books, Enter the Stream and Storyteller are available on Amazon. She teaches gentle yoga and tanka at the Japanese Cultural Center in Gardena. Genie can be reached by email.
