The poem is about the poet’s pure joy over a cherry seed, which he plants with the intention of having a tree of his own. It took eight years for the plant to grow and blossom into a tree. He describes the seasons that the tree lives through to eventually grow and bloom. The plant sees the light of the day in the month of May. Goats, scythe, and the harsh monsoon weather; all harm the plant but it strives to grow against all odds. In spring, new shoots grow and they reach upwards for more sunlight, air, and water. The poet patiently waits as time and the rains do their part to help the plant grow.
