Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness....Psalm 10: 11
A hibiscus happy to arrive...
Turns its circumstance
While still alive...
Into a quick dance.
The plant blooms again
But only God knows when.
Poetry by me AJP
I am glad to see the Hibiscus blooming in mid winter next to the south window of our living room even though it doesn't last very long .I decided to photograph it from the underside as it reminds me of a ballerina skirt twirling around in a joyful dance
