About
Cherry Blossom Falls
by Kishi Murasaki
I invite you to look past the veil of hair, through the skin, past the wrapping of muscle, within the skull, and there hidden deep inside my mind is a forest. In this forest the trees are weeping cherry blossom trees with a white bark that shines silver in the moonlight. The pink cherry blossoms are always in full bloom, gently swaying in the soft breeze. As the breeze flows around the pedals of the blossoms flout gracefully through the air. As if you where caught in a soft rainfall, it is easy to become lost within the pink rain.
These trees stand proudly around a crystal clear lake that sits beneath a waterfall at play. When you look into the water you can see all the way to the bottom even when it is at its deepest. Silver and black fish swim in the invisible water looking to the outside world yet to their own all at the same time. The waterfall seems as if it would be loud and consuming, but it is a calming sound that is quiet yet the most dominating. That water fall is fueled by a raging river that makes no sound. If you where to fall into its’ tides your only relief is the lake at it’s’ end.
There is a loud howl from deep within the cherry blossoms, calling out to the ever standing ever changing moon. The caller is a lawn black wolf who makes his living here peacefully. Within the borders of the cherry blossoms he dose not hunt or kill he only guards. When he is hungry he leaves to eat but his hart belongs to the cherry blossoms and if some one where to try and heart the forest or the lake, he would stop at nothing until he has removed them. This is his only acceptation to his personal code of no harm under the cherry blossoms. The keeper of his code is the silent watcher of the sky. The silver moon whose glossy light never leaves the forest except for when it is the new moon which is the mark of midnight.
This is the secret land inside my head and if you dear to try and tread deeper all you will find is ones self. Now come back to the world of all, back at the surface of the mind, outside the skill, past the wrapping of muscle, through the skin, and veiled in hair, I bring you back to the world in which part of the mind lives, where we live all together.
