Tree of Life(MTJ) She sat there, under the cherry blossom tree.
The vibrations of the earth trembled the closed cave walls.
Nothing could touch her but the water surrounding the island and the falling blossoms of the tree.
She watched them break their bond with the tree and land softly on the snow-white sand.
She felt at peace.
She loved it here.
It was her secret place away from home.
She knew this peace was going to continue long after she was gone for she knew this was her final visit.
A strong wind rushed in and blew the fallen blossoms up into the air taking along clusters of pollen.
She smiled; they looked like fireflies from where she was sitting.
There is another ache in her heart.
It's almost time for her to go.
Looking around one more time, she takes her last breath.

Now she lies at the feet of the Tree of Life.
The blossoms of the tree growing sweetly above her head.
The tree was dying, but she gave it life.
It is no longer the tree that once wept for a lost couple.
It is the tree with a friend, a friend who loved the tree so much, she died next to it.
Now the tree grows and forever will grow because of that girl.
The girl named Sakura.
