Hibiscus Song

Listen for the

song of the hibiscus;

her cadenced telling

 is a metered wailing 

as she bids

her blooms

farewell. 

Tears fall mingled

to the ground 

with petals as the

great earthing of all

continues.  Mourning

travels alongside growing.

It has always been such,

and so it grows like the

ebb and flow of it all.
