Transcription

My love is a veritable orchard of cherry blosom trees--no! It is a wild forest of the same! I love like the ocean spray when the rising sun's fire sets it ablaze, I love like the serenity of gentle streams tip toeing around napping algae bedded stones, I love like the elephant who's shadow could blot out the sun for entire savannas, but chooses to remember deep care instead, I love like you when you know what you want, and you show it, and that's that, I love like the cherries of the tree that share the same stem and whisper heart-secrets in the cradling night.
