Asphalt
grooved by
pilgrim’s feet
snakes through blossoms.
Rainbows growing
as far as the eye can see
renew spirits weary
from war’s dirge
sung over marble stones.
Painted by divine brush strokes
the flowering emissaries of peace
reach into the soul to disarm anger
with seedlings of peace.

Beautiful poem and that is a gorgeous picture isn't it?
I just love the flow throughout and the rich imagery you bring to this really enhances this image wonderfully, Susie.
Thank you for writing today! :)

These lines particularly convey the Japanese theme to me.
