The cherry blossoms grew with pride

My twitter girly, @runaway_tweets, and I are writing a poem with the same line! This is the first time I've shared a line with someone and I'm excited to see how it'll turn out!

Here is hers.. (which, by the way, I LOVE)

Cherry Blossoms

I drove in the dark

You and your friends

Up the escalator summit

Coming out in the bright morning sun

The day the cherry blossoms grow with pride

Pride evident everywhere

Rainbows

Throngs of happy people

Triumphant

Signs bearing witness

“I’m a lesbian too”

“I love my gay son”

And when we reached “God hates fags”

You said, kiss me

Kiss me.

And here is mine..

The sun rises on a new day

Peace is felt throughout

The beauty is astounding

and the elegance takes your breath away

You have been waiting for this moment,

for their grace,

their delicate charm,

their polished artistry.

The cherry blossoms grew with pride

Unaware of all they represented

Love

Affection

The arrival of Spring

A glorious new day has arrived.

An untouched journey begins
