Double-take

a tree blooms in the season of spring
it wants to be seen in all it's beauty
it is known as the japanese cherry blossom.

some people long to see it and never do
others try to believe it actually exists
this is known as the feeling of hope.

you see the tree that blooms is good in people
the people who long to see it are simply the ones
who dont try to see the cherry blossom tree.

it is this hope that i speak of that guides us through
the longing for inner beauty that drives our lives
and the belief of a better someone that perfects the second look.
