Chrysanthemums


Shared joy in a long-lived pot

Shines out bright

In amongst the flowery firework display,


The white light of love and loyalty

Strong and supporting the red of romance

The symbolic heart,


Complements yellow's sorrow.

The whole arrangement is in harmony,

A memory,  a wish,  a gift.


Time unfolds its flowers.
