Oh no, cherry tree,
Please do not blossom today.
I can’t face your beauty.
You are ruining my plan for greyness.
It is only greyness that I can manage today.
And – alas-your pink flowers bring to mind
Hope, love, joy.
It is hard to be reminded of them.
Oh, cherry tree,
Please do not blossom today.
Just wait until my spirit is alligned with the spring
And my heart is ready for new starts.
But not yet, not today.
Oh, cherry tree,
Please do not blossom today.
