WILD ASIAN ORCHID

For Squirmy

 

WILD ASIAN ORCHID
(for you)


I'd like to put it on my table.
Where it is closer
but soon
it will die there.

It is much better
to spend the time
and the effort
and slight inconvenience
to travel

in whatever way
to see it alive
blooming
where it is happy
where it is healthy
where it will last

where it belongs.

I left thee late a rosey wreath
not so much honoring thee
as giving it a hope that there
it would not withered be

from an old English tune lilting and beautiful, it says nearly the same thing as your compact piece of Eastern wisdom.
