Roses of Sharon are in bloom

Beneath a sky
that looks ready to rain at any moment,
roses of Sharon are in bloom,
as if watching over
the people passing by.

Balloon flowers

Baloon flowers are blooming here again
this year.
Suspended
between the future and reality,
I wish for tomorrow.

Erythrina

Linked to memories
of a foreign land,
Erythrina awakens
distant recollections
with dazzling scenery

Agapanthuses bloom

Amidst an atmosphere
of festival-like cheer,
agapanthuses bloom
as if waiting
for the rain.

The lotus flowers

With prayers for peace
in my heart
I walked the path
gazing the lotus flowers
in bloom

The cluster of Spotted Bellflowers

Upon the cluster of Spotted Bellflowers,
I am reminded of a story
I read long ago—one
that quietly awakens
the voice within

I went to a rose garden

On my way home from work,
I went to a rose garden.
the breeze is refreshing there
it's overflowing
with lively energy.
