Elegy for a Cherry Tree

In a garden far-flung
A cherry tree is weeping
For her beloved companion
Has left the earth for good
Her leaves are sighing, her limbs do ache,
The wind can hear her branches moan
Though tears adrift like flower-buds
Cast veils to hush her woes
Where chills of winter still stir the air
And spirits shift to other worlds
Her flower buds on soils so bare,
Spin silks that sway my thoughts
You welcomed every year
Her blossom-laden branches
And when your eyes did lose their light
Your soul then saw her imprint
Adaptable to every season
Like a tree you dealt with life
No point resisting winter
When days are growing short
I imagine my friend in Nangiyala
Among blossom trees aplenty
Where blue-bells roll out their lilac carpets
And birds sing their songs to welcome him
Tending your garden fills your day
Now memories make you smile
For loss has flown away
For good

about
In Lotus Dreams Christel Veraart explores the sounds and rhythms of Asia – from high windswept plains in Tibet to the lush jungle forests of Bali. Eastern and western instruments combine with soaring vocals to pay tribute to the lotus as a universal symbol of tranquility and renewal. Is it real or imagined – or a mix of both?
