When the petals of cherry blossoms fall and gather on the surface of water, floating slowly like a raft, we, in the haiku world, call it a blossom raft. On the calm surface of a lake a blossom raft afloat remains still. Whether from a boat going past, a bird flying away or a breeze, the moment a small rippling wave crosses the water?fs surface, the blossom raft begins to move very slowly. The raft will soon crumble and rot away. But, that one small movement on the water gave life to the blossom raft and started it on a journey. ~by Madoka Mayuzumi~ 4laugh
