Of Unknown Origin
I shouldn’t be here
I am removed in everything,
see within the seed
of unknown origin
I am like a cherry blossom
blooming out of content,
a blood red orchid
persisting in fields
of white petals
after the burst into flower,
I regather the petals,
and see nothing like self
I am,
a wildflower
of unknown origin
flourishing out of context.
and in the pagoda
a lotus smiles
