Red Hibiscus
Background of maroon leaves Ruby flowers of captured light In morning shine bright Afternoon petals inward fold Dark in their death Onto the ground they roll Leaving behind starshaped pods In the sun, bleached and drying Burst with seeds wind sends flying Seedlings appear where they land Leafy growth only shows Flowers follow as life unfolds |
