💧Hemerocallis fulva's Droplet Poem: “A Day's Dance of Light”


by Aqua

The flowers that know their lives are short
are the ones that face the morning light head-on.
The moment a single drop touched the flower's center,
time sparkled and leapt.
That fleeting brilliance is,
in itself, what it means to live.
