Table Bouquet

.

A bouquet of blooms

Festive, at your table top:

Nature’s snatched, hushed.

.

.

Pink Rose

.

A budding pink rose:

The promise of fragrant red,

Full bloom dalliance.

.

.

Graveyard Kemboja

A white kemboja:

Such an awkward symmetry

To your happy face.

.

.

Sunflower

.

Joyful hues of gold

Gazing upward to the sun

Dies at night, sunbound.

.

.

Lotus

.

Roots in earthy mud

Pure unfolding of wisdom

Aspire to light.
