Cracked Open

in the wind floats the ashes

of embers

ignited too fast

like petals of cherry blossoms

in the death of spring

they dance

to form smiles on the faces of all fathers in heaven

all-the-while

underneath the soot

cracks open earth

and out sprouts the bud

of a single white rose

There is a grace to this delicately drawn poem.
