The Rose Of Sharon(Mugunghwa)

Kinsley Lee

It rained hard and windy night,

I heard the shouting of the wind.

In the morn, it's full of the light.

The petals were scatted by the wind.

 

The roses of Sharon were torn.

The twigs were broken to litters.

Some flowers left, were worn

Out and were dangling like tatters.

 

Afraid if the tree were dead,

And can’t see again the flowers,

Only, I did to spread

And sweep the twigs for viewers.

 

Morrow, the sun rises again

With joy, the buds are blooming.

Never I forget, they’ll remain

In my heart ever-blooming.

    Even if it were not the national flower, this simple lovely piece about the tattered and battered blossoms would be moving. That added nuance makes it interesting and intense in a whole additional way.

      A very beautiful sentiment for a beautiful species of rose bush. I'm particularly fond of this species as a metaphor for the love of my life Sharon, whom I've often written about. Thank you for this wonderfully penned piece of prose.

                  "For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender shoots will not cease.
