Fallen Petals

The rain and wind have come back, and winter seems to have returned. I awoke to find my Wisteria that was in full bloom the day before surrounded by a sea of fallen petals reminding me of this poem by Men Hao Ran:

 

Sleeping in spring,

unaware of the dawn

 

All around me,

I hear the birds singing

 

Last night,

the sound of wind and rain

 

Flowers have fallen,

I wonder how many……..
