Blooming to Live

-By Cedar Jeffers

Tulips and daffodils show their true colors in the spring 

Sunflowers and marigolds bloom in the heat  of the year

Purple coneflowers and yellow golden stars in the fall

Winter roses and snowdrops in the freezing cold

Night queens bloom once a year

One night, by morning gone

Large and rare 

White flower shing like the moon

Neelakurinji blooms every 12 years

Vibrant purple covers the hills of India 

Rarity and medicinal 

Purple attracts thousands to come and look

Hachiku bamboo blooms roughly 120 years

They live and die in sychronzedtion

Seeds spread and new growth

Good fortune and renewal for that year
