  • Papa’s Plum Tree – Carpe Diem #906 Ume-no-hana (ume flower)

    We spoke near this place where papa’s memory did store signs of winter’s last trace ~ in papa’s name cherish beauty in the form of white blossoms the ice floes do perish ~ while a sunlit peace suggests our open arms will guide our lives toward a release ~ summertime and leisure quiet memory of…
