💧Golden chain's Droplet Poem: “The Season When Golden Drops Fall”

by Aqua

The season when golden drops
bloom as if spilling from the branches,
the quiet path suddenly brightens.

The overlapping clusters of flowers
seem like the feelings
gently accumulated over the passing days,
and with every sway,
they spill forth a gentle light.

The end,
is always the gateway to a new beginning,
this flower quietly teaches us.

A Word from Aqua
The Golden chain is
truly a “flower of light” perfect for wrapping up April.
