Violets

violets here and there
in the ruins
of my burnt house
Shokyu-ni


Have you ever seen the violets on a stressful day? Has a friend given you flowers simply because they care? On the last day of school a friend gave me a Gemstone orchid, dyed a fantastic blue. I am looking at it as I write this today. The gift symbolizes more than the giver recognizes. I was on a path that I believed was the right path. Then the Universe suddenly told me otherwise. On the day I received the gift, I felt the words of the haiku.
