Lovely haiku, it is so evocative of this beautiful site. I enjoyed L3 so much, with the aspect of silence. Thank you for a wonderful haiku.

First it gives me the visual -a cherry tree and a place i am unfamiliar with but it sounds like a place 'to be'... Silence adds so much for me ... it lifts the visual into emotion and allows me to paint it a colour that suits me at this moment.
Second - i love that pivot ...it keeps me on one side of the walls in everyday noise, stress, work, rush and pressure and on the other side, the promise of the place, and peace ...
excellent multi layered piece - not as easily achieved as you make it seem ... >>> Gina
