Ode to Flowers
They spread beauty and fragrance
For the sake of it
Expect nothing in return
Friendly with the thorns
They live in grace and peace
And fade with joy
Apropos no motive
They live life for living
Nothing comes, nothing goes
Continuity pervades
Plucked and tweaked
Merge with all and never whine
Rain, sun and chill
Spring, autumn and snow
Embrace all and come again
Beyond reason and doubt
Share the nature and fate
with flavor and fullness
Full of joy, never in haste
With eternity, filling the hearts
Exuberance, innocence and poise
Blending frailty with strength
With vibrance and color
Through sunshine and clouds
Enjoying the rocks and falls
With leaves and boughs
Free from weary of time
Emitting serenity and hope
With benign and blissful heart
Turning earth into Eden
Rising from the buds
O flower! I wish you adieu
Waiting for another year
