Tropical hibiscus blooms generally last for only 24 hours,
but for that one day, they make a grand statement!

    Yes, for one single day, perhaps one sliver of a moment in one single day, happening all day, every day, with every movement of the Sun, Moon and Stars.

    Peace

    Wonderfully composed haiku. I love the photo very much. The Hibiscus just blooms for only 24 hours, it's sad, but in those 24 hours she is really a beauty.

    Glory. That says it all.
    And scintillating...I must admit, it is a new word for me.

    this of course is the most profound wisdom, to live each day as if it will be our last.
    oh the gift of flowers and friends,
    thank you for both.
