Pink in Pink

In color psychology, pink is a sign of hope. It is a positive color that inspires warm and comforting feelings. The color pink gives the feeling that everything will go well or be okay. Most people have heard of the saying “everything is rosy”. It may also indicate good health and success. (Jacob Olesen - Color-Meanings.com)

Spring Makers

Buddha once held up a flower to his
disciples and asked each of them to
say something about it.

One pronounced a
lecture. Another a poem.
Yet another a parable.
Each trying to outdo the
other in depth and erudition.

Mahakashyap
smiled and said nothing. Only he had 
seen the flower.

Anthony de Mello: The Song of the Bird,  "Label makers"

Apple Blossoms

One evening in winter
when nothing has been enough,
when the days are too short,

the nights too long
and cheerless, the secret
and docile buds of the apple

blossoms begin their quick
ascent to light. Night
after interminable night

the sugars pucker and swell
into green slips, green
silks. And just as you find

yourself at the end
of winter's long, cold
rope, the blossoms open

like pink thimbles
and that black dollop 
of shine called

bumblebee stumbles in.

Blue and Yellow

There is a time of the year when it seems that fragments of the sky are scattered on the ground and they appear to be bluer than the bluest heavens. It's squill woken up by a spring sun rays, opening  its bijou but unbelievably cobalt flowers.
In chorus,  the air above the fields begins to fill with honey-like smell and the eyes do not have enough of the golden yellow catkins, the culprit of that commotion. Unnoticeable until yesterday, now goat willow is becoming fluffier and fluffier with every hour.
Blue squill like peace, yellow catkins like ripen cereal. A beautiful couple.

For my Mother

Flowering Cherries... I find it very hard to choose the right words  to begin this post with. If you would like to experience what it means to become speechless with wonder and disbelief, there is no better way  than to glance at a Japanese Cherry in bloom.  Having done that,  try to utter a sentence, a phrase or even a single word if you can. This is exactly the way I feel right now searching for expressions that do not exist. A blissful state of lexical inability.
I was lucky though;  I got help from Sonja Varga, a young  Croatian girl, who wrote a beautiful haiku, surely impressed by the same source of the incriminating amazement. Let me quote her verse: "As if there were/no other blossoms/- a cherry in bloom." Sonja is so right. When ornamental cherries bloom, the rest of the world transforms into a mere background, and I know why: it simply  becomes speechless! With wonder and disbelief!
