Hibiscus

Looking through a veil of sadness
everything loses its light.

I am not completely enveloped
Curiosity is my dharma door
into the present moment.

Look at the hibiscus flowers
what shape their leaves?
How does a bud unfurl
to become a flower
a full bloom?

Without doing anything
it seems
I am drawn into engaging
with the world
and out of my head.

Grateful for the insight to
plant the hibiscus bush
in just that spot
ten years ago.
