A garden of bouquets in the midst of winter.
Sheltered within a slice of downtown
The florist welcomes a customer
Who asks where bright tulips can found
To brighten his love's dreary nights
And provide solace when he could not
For nine blocks of snowy footprints
Showed love that was fleeting, and not a lot.
When he knocks upon her door, with flowers in hand
He'll find that his love is the beacon
That carves room and light for
Two hearts to bloom in all seasons.
Inspired by the quote: "Cultivate a Heart that Blooms in all Seasons." -Venerable Master Hsing Yun, 2021, Year of the Ox.
