HIBISCUS SKY

One hibiscus footprint casts its spell,

Misshapen shadow fallen from the sky.

Male or female, nobody can tell.

Raises come spring, bare boughs on yonder fell;

Rivers feed their roots then bleed them dry.

One hibiscus footprint casts its spell.

Summer raindrops quiver as they quell.

Clouds caress, then separate the sky;

Male or female, nobody can tell.

Indecision in the wishing well;

Leaves trod into ground beneath seagull's cries.

One hibiscus footprint casts its spell.

Its blossom leaves a memsmerising smell;

Petal clad red footsteps walk on by.

Male or female, nobody can tell.

Sweetest seedlings settle on the dell:

Truth of this the spirit dare not decry.

One hibiscus footprint casts its spell.

Male or female, nobody can tell.
