Azelea

This was inspired by Road to Shamballa Teahouse: For the people of Japan: Azalea - "Take care of yo...: "The azalea is the symbol of passion and fragility. It also bears the message: 'Take care of yourself'"


Leaves unfurl themselves,
Green against the slumbering brown.
Tight buds, hug their colour,
Shyly blossoming.
Light streams,
Through pink, paper thin petals.
Scent hangs in the air.

Sat in a terracotta pot,
Roots in acidic soil.
My precious cargo,
Carried from city to town,
A token of love
A reminder of home.
This is my azalea.
